Malaika, Equality to Education and Health Care

Spring 2025

Stall Three Studio partners with The Malaika Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to empowering girls through education in Democratic Republic of Congo. Malaika provides free, STEM based education to more than 430 primary and secondary girls, while also focusing on leadership and community responsibility. 

Their community-driven model has been integral to their success since the founding in 2007. Through a comprehensive, local approach, an entire village has undergone a transformative ripple effect. And it all starts with education: an educated woman is more likely to give back to her community, to inspire others to attend school, and to cultivate a sense of independence among both her peers and the next generation. Malaika believes that this community-driven model can, and should, be adopted on the global stage.

Recognizing the profound significance of Malaika's mission, Stall Three Studio offers a print to raise awareness and funds for their continuing efforts. This partnership between Malaika and Stall Three Studio exemplifies the power of collaboration and the shared commitment to making a positive social impact. Twenty percent of profits are donated to The Malaika Foundation.

Malaika is not just a school, but a symbol of hope and empowerment for not only the students and their families, but for the entire community. A community's strength lies in the unity of its individuals, and Malaika plays a crucial role in fostering empowered and educated leaders who are inspired to give back. Through their leadership programs, Malaika instills in these girls the values of compassion, empathy, and the importance of making a positive impact. By teaching them the skills necessary to lead and serve, Malaika empowers these young girls to become influential members of their community, creating a ripple effect of change and progress. Malaika's impact goes far beyond the school walls, as it transforms lives and brings forth a community built upon passion, knowledge, and a shared commitment to make a difference.
