0 Gifted Student Sponsorship, Malawi & Zambia
We were thrilled this year to be supporting the continued secondary education of 2 young people in Malawi. In Zambia we also sponsored a community wildlife scout to undergo 3-months formal training, a young man to begin teacher training and one of our previous students to attend his graduation ceremony. They have all done brilliantly 🙂

We are so pleased to provide this update on our feeding and emergency medical programme for the vulnerable children we are uplifting in Malawi.

We are thrilled to have brought safe, clean water to 2,500 villagers in Mnkhanya Chiefdom in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley bordering the wildlife-rich South Luangwa National Park.
