**What the charity does:** The charity supports education as the route out of poverty in rural locations near Blantyre in southern Malawi. As a small charity, we only support two or three schools at a time. Our supported schools receive almost no funding from the Government. We manage projects such as school buildings - classrooms and essential infrastructure. Furniture for classrooms &amp; dormitories, equipment for lessons &amp; science practicals, water supply, power (solar when possible) are also needed. We use local tradesmen, often well known to us over many years. We also have a limited programme of Secondary School sponsorship. Being close to Blantyre means that there are opportunities for training in a skill or in employment after Secondary education. The Trustees have considerable experience of working in or visiting Malawi. The Trust ensures that donors’ funds are spent as expected by obtaining a variety of evidence, the recipient’s bank statement showing funds credited from the charity being essential.
