This Christmas give a gift of a desk for a child who sits on the ground at school

At the four primary schools which Hope4Malawi partners with in Malawi, there are at least 1,900 children who sit on the ground because they do not have a desk. Many of these children do not even have a classroom. They learn outside sitting under a tree.

For those who currently learn in a classroom, Hope4Malawi would like to provide every child with a desk to sit at.

Each desk costs £42 and seats 2 to 4 children, and each classroom can hold 30 desks. By helping raise £11,340, we can buy 270 desks for 9 classrooms.

Having a classroom desk

- helps children to focus, listen and learn more effectively during lessons

- helps children to learn to write properly as they have a flat surface to lean on

- is better for their health rather than sitting on a dusty ground

- supports teachers to create a more structured and organised environment for learning

This Christmas together we can provide the gift of improved education and make a difference to 100s of children’s lives in rural Malawi

Happy Christmas
