Over the past 8 years, St Maurice’s High School has developed a strong partnership and friendship with Nkhamenya Girl’s School in Malawi. During this time, with the support of individuals, communities, businesses and companies in Glasgow and surrounding areas, the school managed to make a huge difference to the lives of others.

With donations, water storage tanks and water pumps have been installed to ensure children have access to a clean, safe water source. Basic classroom resources and ICT facilities have been provided to the secondary schools to improve learning. They have also set up a scholarship fund to ensure that no pupil is sent home from school due to failure of fee payments. The local primaries have used their donations to install an electricity supply and improve learning equipment for the young children. Finally, their donations help improve care facilities within the local hospital. It is an entire community that benefits from the partnership.

The school also benefit and are provided with a life-changing opportunity to visit Nkhamenya which requires dedication and commitment from them. The aim of the trip is develop a deeper understanding of the lives of others across the world, enabling them to learn from others and become more aware global citizens.

All donations are most welcome and I can guarantee that every donation goes a long way.
