About Consol Homes
The organization was established in 2000 by community members from Kalolo, Malawi to support orphans and other vulnerable children in Malawi. The organization's Executive Guardian is founding member Alfred Chapomba.
The group initially worked to assist single parents, guardians and orphans to develop parenting skills. Consol Homes currently operates in Traditional Authority (T.A.) Kalolo and T.A.

The group also provides recreational and educational support, Community Home Based Care (CHBC) for the chronically sick, pre-school development programs, income generation schemes and vocational training.
