Malawi Schools Project

Garda

Children at Garda, where a school is being build

A simple idea, but one that has mushroomed. Last year President Ineke Morris gave each club £20 and asked them to increase it by any (legal!) means they could. So far over £1,000 has been raised to help with two schools in Malawi.

John and Doena Pendered farm two parcels of land in Malawi; Garda, which they own and Likasi, which they rent. The Regional Project is aimed at helping both areas. At Garda, funds raised will enable the building of a brick classroom for approximately 80 local children and also provide an adult literacy and learning room. The money raised will enable the building materials to be purchased, but the actual construction work will be carried out by the parents.

At Likasi, there is a school building in existence already, which approximately 250 children attend. The money raised will provide books and other much-needed stationery for these children.
