Story

HELP RAISE THE MONEY TO PROVIDE BOYS WITH ORPHAN CARE HOMES IN LILONGWE!

I recently went out to Malawi to carry out a self-initiated project, teaching and building a school block at Chikale Primary School. The project was a rewarding experience and a huge success thanks to all the support I received. I am now collaborating with Tilinanu, a registered charity founded by Alice Pulford and her family. Tilinanu is a girls orphanage which provides a home, food, education and love to 35 young girls. I will be collaborating with Tilinanu on a new exciting project, providing boys with orphan care homes, Malawi! 

I met Doud, a homeless and vulnerable child in Lilongwe, he was being strangled on the street. Doud was desperate to go to an orphanage, however the systems in place for children like Doud in Malawi are practically non-existent. Street life is brutal for these children who are frequently abused. There are many children like Doud who are in desperate need of a home, food, an education and love. The situation is heart-breaking.

Having met with both Alice and Nina Pulford, we have decided to collaborate on the project of aiming to get as many boys as possible in orphan care homes. It is a huge challenge and I would like to ask anyone who would like to get involved with fundraising and supporting the boys project to please contact me. Any help whether it be money or time related would be immensely appreciated.
