Bezzel Makaya founded Streetwise Trust in 2015. Making arts and living on the streets in Harare, Bezzel was supported by an organization called Streetwise.

Coming back to Malawi, Bezzel wanted to help other vulnerable people with his arts, engagement, and big heart. 

Streetwise provides nutrition and schooling for almost 100 children from the community, several of them coming from vulnerable homes. 21 children are currently housed at the orphanage. Supporting the staff of 20 feeds into and assist the local community. 

Every month we make beaded animals and figures for sale at markets in Lilongwe like the weekly markets at August House and the monthly Farmers Market at Woodlands. 

However, since most of our children cannot pay the small school fees, Streetwise Trust is dependent on donations from our well-wishers.
