What the charity does

We help equip Secondary Schools and Communities in rural Malawi with what they need. We raise funds in the UK and use local Malawi Partners (e.g. Diocese of Lake Malawi) for local delivery. Working one school at a time we ensure long term sustainability of the schools.With our Partners, Schools and Communities we also develop economic livelihood pathways for pupils and parents.
