It can be difficult to source enough maize for so many children so it can be time consuming getting everything together for the sponsored children. Plus, they have to receive their parcels at a time when there aren’t other children around.
So here are photos of 20 of the sponsored children. These children and young people are still at primary school. Once a sponsored young person goes to Bright Futures Secondary School, they stop receiving their monthly food parcel because they have a nutritious cooked school lunch each day instead.
This month the sponsored children & young people have been given maize, cooking oil and two bars of soap. Thank you so much to their sponsors for really making a difference to their lives and giving them hope of a better and brighter future.
Here is the link to the young people who are waiting for a sponsor so that they will be able to have a secondary education at Bright Futures Secondary School. https://changinglivesmalawi.com/2024/06/14/12-weeks-to-find-sponsors-for-14-vunerable-students/
There is no free secondary education in Malawi. None of the children we support can afford to pay. At BFSS the biggest cost is feeding the students each day which is why they need sponsors. They must receive a good school lunch every day as that is the only food most of the students will eat. It is vital for their wellbeing and education as there is no point trying to educate students who are too weak to study and cannot concentrate.
Thank you again to everyone who cares about these children and young people. Each sponsored child/young person has their own page on our website which we update with their photos and any writing they do. It only costs £25 per month to be a sponsor. Having a sponsor is probably the best gift anyone can give them, Sarah x
