Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Chesney Trust was set up to support a girls school in northern Malawi called the Edinburgh Girls School. The school was established just 2 years ago and has about 60 girls aged between 12 and 17.

Malawi is a very poor African country and girls tend to not get a very good education, many leaving after primary education. Janet Chesney is a retired Scottish teacher who decided to do something to help this situation, establishing a school literally from nothing in the African bush.

My son Marcus is currently working as a voluntary teacher in the school. In May I went out to Malawi to see him and visited the school and witness the good work they are doing. A year's education costs about £70 per girl. There are plans to expand the school starting by building a primary school on the same site.
