including some that are motor-operated. We also install small wells
(known as Kuvas) where hand pumps are not practical.
We concentrate our inslallation on those areas where water is much
needed for every day usage and where people currently have to walk
between 1 to 4 kilometers to accèss water for their daily needs.
on￿ the water pumps are installed, water is made available lo anyone
regardless of their social standing or beliefs. A Goncrele base is also
provided for the locals lo handwash their clothes or wash their pots and
pans and crockery.

at a designated learning centre and SUC￿ssful attendees are then given
a brand-new sewing machine (together with accessories} to start making
clothes and earn a living for themselves rather than relying on handouts.
Scholarshi
Pro
ect
The charity has on annual basis given scholarships to bright, eligible
students from poor and needy families until their gradualion. Students are
selected on the basis of their socio-economic condition and academic
pèrformances.
We prefer to support students from the medical field for scholarships as
this is more career based and the expense for these studies is a lot
higher for the families.

their widowed paternal grandmother) and we are supporting them wilh

Malawi
In June 2024, one of our Trustees undertook a visit to Malawi to assess
and undertake a survey as to whether we would be able to participate in
relief work to the poor and the needy in Ihe town of Dedza and its
surrounding villages.
It was saddening to see that there was a lot of poverty and people were
still living in mud huts and houses made out of wood and plastic sheets.
After consulting with some of the village elders, we were able to distribute
beef (from the animal sacrifice rituals of Eid-ul-Adha) along with food
parcels containing ri￿, lenlils, flour, Cooking oil and spices to 13 remote
villages (and a total of 195 poor households).
It was deemed at Ihe end of the visit that due to a lack of commitment
from the locals and our inability to find a suitable long arm supervisor to
undertake future charitable work on our behalf (in accordance with our
TAR
Maith 2012
