I am joining the Albany Deaf Church in walking to support Deaf girls' education in Malawi. This is through The Mamie Martin Fund (MMF). Specifically the Thompson Fund (managed by MMF) supports girls at Embangweni Secondary School and all funds raised by our Albany Team in this Wee Wander will go to that school in Embangweni. Girls are less likely to go to secondary school than boys and are more likely to drop out before they have completed all four years. This is particularly problematic for disabled girls.

The MMF pays school costs and provides for other necessities like soap, notebooks and sanitary pads. The MMF work is managed locally by Mercy Sibande, who lives in Mzuzu.
