There is a vast difference in ages of the children and young people who are fortunate to have sponsors to support them. However, two factors that are the same with all of them is that none have enough to eat and all are living in extreme poverty. Levison is working his way through the list and taking photos of them all for their sponsors.
Some of the youngest children are benefitting from receiving a monthly food parcel at their home to supplement what their parents/carers have. They are also benefitting from receiving clothes, shoes, soap and toothbrush & toothpaste.
Teenagers are receiving free education at Bright Futures Secondary School, free school lunches and free clothes. Secondary education needs to be paid for in Malawi so none of these young people would have the opportunity of secondary education without receiving financial support.
There are some young people who are supported who are not at secondary school but are learning skills and are receiving financial support, clothes etc.
All are able to access the weekly feeding programme. Five hundred children and young people come to the Foundation once a week to receive a substantial, nutritious meal….some walking for 15km to 20km to get there. No big charities are feeding children in schools in this area so your help is vital to these children and young people.
Could you be a sponsor and bring a smile to a vulnerable child’s face today? It’s only £25 per month to be a sponsor….or you could share that cost with a friend for only £12.50 p/m each. It’s not much to us but it is a huge gift for those we help to support. There are hundreds waiting to be matched with a sponsor to enable them to have a brighter future.
Or could you commit to just £5 or £10 per month to help ensure we can continue feeding the children? Food insecurity is becoming worse in Malawi, prices are rising and families cannot feed their children. Some girls are at risk of being married off because their families cannot feed them.
