Report written by Tav (he/him)
A buzzing bar session and (as expected) a great load of foolish entertainment! Emily and her Band of Fools made the rock and blues garden an even happier place! The drinks sold out and the tipsy punters gave generously!!
I had a nice chat about the latest building project just outside Lilongwe - a new school for a community and education to enrich lives.
We are a small, UK based charity committed to improving opportunities for children in Malawi. Contact Building Malawi here. We build infrastructure such as schools, libraries and sports facilities Malawian organisations run these facilities The schools, libraries and sports facilities fund their own running costs - they don't depend on our support This means that they are long lasting (Falls Secondary is 8 years without a penny from us!) All of the money you donate goes to the cause and into tangible items such as libraries and schools None of the money you donate goes on UK running costs We have nearly no UK running costs and these are funded by our committee (aside from bank charges) What is great about us is that we focus on infrastructure. We build the school and library buildings and hand them over to local groups to run. That way the schools and libraries are not dependant on regular support from us (they fund themselves) and we can show people that donate to us very clearly where your money goes (we can literally point at the building you helped to fund!)
