Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Your money will go towards supporting partnership projects between South West Region in Malawi and Glasgow City Council. Through Malawi Leaders of Learning, we aim to work alongside education staff in Malawi to improve the quality of learning and teaching in Malawi to enable more children to stay longer in education thereby improving their life chances.
I have just returned from Malawi. I now know first hand how important this project is - the people are so welcoming and grateful for the support offered but the depth and breadth of poverty is breathtaking. Education is key to reduce the number of people in poverty, currently estimated at more than 80% of the population. Not only do we need to support the infrastructure but we also need to improve the quality of education being delivered. Malawi Leaders of Learning has a key role to play in this.
The money raised will be used support a range of strategies, for example, to pay the salary of a Malawian to work on the project and to buy resources, such as ICT and solar panels to power them.
We will need a steady source of income annually - if each child in a Glasgow school brings £1 once a year then we will have enough money to make this project a reality.
More information on this exciting project which is open to Glasgow education staff is available on www.glasgoweducationMLOL.org.uk Thank you!!
