Adult literacy class DSC_0694DSC_0700

We are happy to announce that we have extended our support of the Women’s Adult Literacy Programme delivered by the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre, thereby empowering more marginalised women in Malawi to lift themselves out of poverty through education.  Over the 10 month course, 130 women from poor communities in Lilongwe will acquire skills in reading, writing and numeracy and will at the same time be better able to understand critical issues concerning the conservation of biodiversity through the choice of wildlife and environmental learning themes. We have also facilitated fund-raising efforts for other development projects in this community.

The High Five Club has connected The Edmund Waller School in London with the Mara Riante Nursery School in Kenya. It is hoped that a strong relationship between the two schools is forming and that in the months to come the schools will be eligible to receive further help from The British Council’s Connecting Classrooms initiative.

We have recently joined hands with the Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley in support of their Zambian Student’s Fund. The aim is to conduct a ground-breaking International Conservation Exchange, linking their Zambian Chipembele Conservation Club students with students from a school in Australia.

In 2014 ten of their most outstanding students will visit Adelaide on an international conservation education exchange. This will be the first time these rural children will have travelled outside their country.  We have contributed towards their travel fee to Australia by purchasing a tile on Chipembele’s supporter’s Wall ($200/£134.99) www.chipembele.org/supporterswall.
