LET'S SUPPORT EDUCATION OF GIFTED AFRICAN CHILDREN

LET´S SUPPORT EDUCATION OF GIFTED AFRICAN CHILDREN

Let's come together to support a primary school in the Malawian village of Kaziwiziwi and its gifted and smart pupils in the education.

EDUCATION WILL GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE BETTER JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Kaziwiziwi is a small village in northern Malawi near the former Scottish Mission Livingstonia. It is one of many villages in the mountainous hinterland of the Rumphi District.

People here live on small-scale farming and the small income provided by the local coal mine. Although they survive on very little, they remain very warm-hearted, kind and very grateful for everything.

My partner and I have been in Malawi thanks to his work since last year. I came here to teach and help out at the local primary school as a volunteer where I had to see the children lacking exercise books, stationery, shoes, school bags. For example, several young schoolchildren share an exercise book and if they don't have one, they write with chalk on the ground. I also found there is a lack of basic equipment such as school desks and chairs.

It was only through the efforts of motivated teachers that the final year pupils passed their final exams with excellent results. So the school was able to be rated the best out of 206 primary schools in the district this year!

The dream of these gifted and smart pupils is to graduate from secondary school, go on to university to become a doctor, lawyer, nurse, etc.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE FOR A BETTER FUTURE

However, in order for them to continue their education at secondary school, they need your support. Since most people in the villages do not have a regular income, they can hardly afford to pay for their children's school uniforms, shoes, books, school bags or stationery, let alone their studies.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

With the help of your donations we will primarily finance the further education of gifted young people, which is approximately 610 EUR/ 660 USD per year including school uniform and school supplies. This amount corresponds to the average annual income of a family in Malawi.

Any additional funds would be invested in school supplies and equipment as described above.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KIND SUPPORT.
