Malawi Project

Malawi is one of the poorest counties in the World with one in seven of the poulation being HIV positive.  We have worked with various projects for around three years.  Below you will find a brief description of the projects we support.  If you would like a copy of our DVD please contact Mrs Alldrick.

BUNDA LEA SCHOOL

Cardinal Wiseman have been supporting Bunda LEA School for the past three years.  Support has included a school restoration programme which is ongoing.  A feeding programme has been set up to support the most malnourished children at the school.  Donations have also enabled the setting up of school farm, with chickens and goats, which provide milk, meat and eggs for the children.  We have also advised on agricultural developments and provided hundreds of maize and soya seeds, fertilizer and fumigants to prevent the crops being damaged by vermin.  As well as essential items such as animal feed and materials for the chicken pens.

Lots of sporting equipment has also been provided for the school and our students provided sports coaching which will help the overall well being and health of the children.

 

KASINA HEALTH CLINIC – DEDZA, MALAWI

The health clinic is in a remote part of Malawi.  The clinic is run by the Medical Missionary Sisters.  Three Sisters, led by Sister Mary McNamara, look after a population of about 200,000.  There is no resident doctor at the clinic.

Each year we have been able to buy £1,000.00 worth of life saving drugs for the clinic. 

The clinic also supports a number of orphans.  It is also a centre for feeding malnourished children who are given six weeks supplementary feeding.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Dried flies and dried mice are often eaten as the only source of protein these children get.

As the fundraising is run by a school, no money donated by you is spent on any form of admin, unlike other donations given to causes in Africa.  100% of the money goes to buy life saving drugs.  It is considerably cheaper to buy these locally and Cardinal Wiseman is provided with receipts for everything purchased in Malawi.

Many thanks again for you help – your donations really could mean the difference between life and death for someone……….
