Smile Malawi Annual Report 2020/21
Although everyone in the world was affected in some way by Covid-19, life in Malawi continued and Smile Malawi had some great success stories, even in the midst of the crisis.
19-year-old Kumbukani who had been with us since 2009 and had always wanted to become a soldier passed his six month trial and has been fully accepted into the Malawian Army. He completed secondary school the previous year and Smile Malawi managed to get him a trial place in the Army in November 2019. We are so proud of him.
21-year-old Gift had a wonderful surprise when we managed to trace his sister and grandmother in June. We agreed to build him a house in his home village next to his sister where he runs a small business buying and selling groceries and food items. Gift had never known his family as he was only 7 years old when his parents passed away and he was taken away from his village to live with a lady in another town. But Gift wandered off and was found in Blantyre on the streets. We gave him a home and we had no idea where his family was until last year.
The children were home from 23 March 2020 when all schools and colleges closed. We had a skeleton staff who stayed at the home permanently and our manager visited (at a safe distance!) every day to bring food and essentials. We continued with a lockdown although official lockdown in Malawi stopped very quickly as the High Court ruled it unlawful. Although 2020 was such a struggle for many people we were humbled by everyone's continued generosity which meant that our children are all healthy and back to school and college. We received a record amount of funds via the Facebook 'Donate' button and the smile.amazon website.
In March 2021 Smile Malawi experienced a truly dreadful week when our wonderful son Elijah Daniel aged 24 tragically passed away. He collapsed after writing exams at college, where he was training to be a doctor, but sadly never regained consciousness and was pronounced brain dead the next day. Elijah’s life was originally saved when we took him to Maputo for heart surgery in 2009, aged 12. In the years to come he overcame so many more hurdles to achieve his dream of going to medical school and he was a shining star of Smile Malawi. He was inspirational to all the children and was a truly kind, caring and loving young man who will be forever missed by his family and everyone at Smile Malawi.
