The Chesney Trust was set up in 2006 specifically to work with the local community in Engcongolweni, in the north of Malawi, to build and help run a girls' secondary boarding school, and to provide bursaries for those whose parents/carers cannot pay the school fees. Thanks to donations from the Erskine Stewarts Melville Schools in Edinburgh, grants from funding bodies and donations from many individuals, the Trust was able to fund the construction of two double classroom blocks and a hostel, and the provision of water from a borehole which allowed the school (known as the Edinburgh Girls' High School) to be opened in 2012. Subsequent funded construction of additional hostels and other school buildings has allowed the school roll to increase to 265. We will continue to work with the Chesney Trust (Malawi) Board, based in Mzuzu and the head teacher to further develop the school.", "objectives": "The objects of The Chesney Trust are:- a)  To advance education of girls in Northern Malawi by means of funding a project to build a secondary school, including a department for girls with hearing impairment and by the funding of bursaries. b)  To provide health facilities, including antenatal care and improve the infrastructure (roads, water, electricity, employment opportunities) of the surrounding area for the benefit of the local community.", "charitable_objects": null, "classifications": [], "main_operating_location": "Stirling", "geographical_spread": "Overseas only", "areas_of_operation": [], "latest_income": 23502, "latest_expenditure": 32869, "fin_period_start": null, "fin_period_end": "2025-07-31", "financial_years": [{"start": null, "end": "2025-07-31", "income": 23502, "expenditure": 32869, "assets": null, "funds": null, "num_employees": 0, "accounts_url": null, "accounts_md_url": null}, {"start": null, "end": "2024-07-31", "income": 35317, "expenditure": 30357, "assets": null, "funds": null, "num_employees": 0, "accounts_url": null, "accounts_md_url": null}, {"start": null, "end": "2023-07-31", "income": 55936, "expenditure": 60603, "assets": null, "funds": null, "num_employees": 0, "accounts_url": null, "accounts_md_url": null}, {"start": null, "end": "2022-07-31", "income": 24991, "expenditure": 33126, "assets": null, "funds": null, "num_employees": 0, "accounts_url": null, "accounts_md_url": null}, {"start": null, "end": "2021-07-31", "income": 47373, "expenditure": 39229, "assets": null, "funds": null, "num_employees": 0, "accounts_url": null, "accounts_md_url": null}], "documents": [], "trustees": []}
