In England, there are presently three trustees working at their own will for the charity. There is also a treasurer, fundraising manager and volunteer project co-ordinator as well as six people in Malawi on the executive committee.
Malnourishment is a physical problem that many children suffer from in Malawi. The symptoms are a distended stomach and lack of hair. Though they look well fed, they are actually very deprived of the needed food that we have the privilege of. They wait hours for a single piece of cloth to be filled with maize. They don’t know when they’ll eat again. Are you hungry? When it’s filled, it is seen as one of the most precious things in the world to them. Would only one bag be so important to you? The water they drink is dirty and the well is often dangerous. But it only costs £15 to make it safer and £150 to provide clean, pure water for a whole village. It doesn’t take much. Malawians are resourceful and make use of anything they can find. A plastic bag to you, is a ball to them. Small gifts you give bring great happiness to ill children in Malawi and can change the light on the whole village community.
One field to grow maize costs £50 and 20 trees cost £20. That sleeping mat in your loft would be a gift to Malawians at this desperate time of need.
