Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

I aim to cycle from London to Paris in July to raise money for a school development project called SJB Africa, set up by the school I currently work in. The project is being facilitated by Plan International.

You can get all the details on the project from: www.sjbafrica.org but here is an overview...

In Malawi 1 in 5 children die before the age of 5 and 1/4 of the children in Malawi do not go to primary school.

Milenje Community Day Secondary School started with: a primary and secondary school; 944 students; mud floors; no desks; a leaky roof; a 6 month rainy season; boarders who sleep on the floor of the classroom and poor sanitation

We want it to have: proper classrooms; sanitation; new desks and learning materials. To achieve this we will need £42,374 and 25 months

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for taking an interest,

Martin
