Story
Namitembo is a remote rural area in Malawi with problems of difficult road access, poverty, poor education and health facilities. Ubwino Wa Amayi, a local community-based female empowerment programme, runs a vital Montessori Nursery school and feeding centre for 120 children and also pays school fees and bursaries for needy Secondary school girls and Trade school students to learn a trade such as bricklaying or tailoring. The nursery school building needs constant maintenance to keep it a quality, clean and safe environment. Every year large cracks appear in the walls and drains and pipes become damaged due to heavy rainfall and flooding. This is why we need you to buy a brick in the wall and get your name in Black & White, Silver or Gold. A simple brick is £25+, Silver is £250+ and Gold is £500+. Our aim for this year is £2000 which will help towards repair work, buying educational materials, buying nutritious maize porridge and paying our 10 locally trained teachers for 2017. Each name will be entered in the raffle to win a beautiful embroidered cushion embroidered by the ladies group in Namitembo. The proceeds of their cushions help in the upkeep of the nursery school and they also make home visits and assist people sick with HIV/AIDS.
