Chairman’s Forward
We are very fortunately to have managed another housing project in Malawi, which is truly life changing for the recipients who would not had dreamed of moving into such a house. The satisfaction to help the extremely poor is a boost for me and the team, especially as I continue to recover from my diagnosis.
Even without me being on the ground, the team of trustees and volunteers are performing an exceptional job and I’m truly grateful for being updated and consulted on all issues and decision.
As always, a very big thank you to our donors as without you we would not be able to carry out life changing project and bring those smiles to the most needy. May you also keep smiling and be blessed.

Finance Report
The economy in Malawi has been especially unstable this year due to the elections which has caused the price of the houses to increase in comparison to previous years, but this also has increased due to the redesign of the houses and the addition to the external toilet/show room.
The partnership with Open Arms Foundation in Malawi has been a great benefit for us and essentially the end beneficiaries as we have collectively now built more houses which are truly life changing for the new occupants. May this partnership continue into the future. Collectively agreed to build 70 houses in the Chippata area in Malawi.
We continue to receive donations from our regular monthly supporters, and those wider to hear about our projects. Although 99% of all collected donations have been used, it is a great satisfaction that all of the used funds have gone towards a large and truly benefiting project, one which will last for many years to come.
