Story
I have been supporting Henry, who I met whilst travelling in Malawi, for 15 years. During this time, I have paid for his education, passport, driving tuition and funded the set up his maize-milling business. To make it work efficiently, and to allow him to become fully self-sufficient, I need to buy a maize-hulling machine. The cost is around £1000 which I just don't have at the moment...

We did!!! Wow!!! Thank you all so much for helping me to make this dream a reality. Henry and I are truly grateful for the enormous support we have received. He has already made the necessary arrangements for the maize-huller to be installed and connected. Updates on this to follow... This machine will have an immediate effect on his ability to run his business profitably and thus secure his future. Henry also plans to turn some of the profits into a scheme to help children and the elderly in his village. Your generosity will go far... Once again, thank you all for your support and kindness. Michele and Henry xxx
