Story

**NEWSFLASH** We may have reached our target folks but have the perfect excuse to try and raise a bit more...

Mwaya medical centre has recently been built and is awaiting funds to buy supplies, medical equipment and furniture. Sarah Noah will also be overseeing this project and will make sure any additional money raised will go direct to Mwaya.

Thanks again everyone for your help!______________________________

To all that can spare some cash to sponsor us for our 'Water Walk' on 21st August..

Since November 2008, Kachere Health Centre in the Northern District of Nkhata Bay in Malawi has been deprived of running water. A water system was installed four years ago, but the water pump that served the centre was hit by lightening and is now deemed irreparable. Litres of water now have to be pumped at a bore-hole and taken to the centre manually.

Women in the postnatal ward have inadequate facilities for washing themselves, sheets, or their new born babies. Running water is also essential for TB testing. Fresh drinking water is not an option and because of this may patients are dehydrated. The one 'flushing' toilet which is considered to be a 'luxury' is permanently 'NOT IN USE' as there is no sanitation.

Sarah Noah is based in Malawi near the health centre and we want to help her raise £900 for an electric water pump. Please sponsor our Malawi 'Water Walk' - any donation you can spare will make an incrediable difference.

Many thanks.
