Sarah’s blog 4/9/24
We have partnered with DonorSee, who are in USA, to raise funds for some of our small projects. Thanks to several people who donated to help a group of women start their own Agribusiness enough funds were raised. The women were delighted and were gifted tools, watering cans, fertiliser and maize to plant.
They have had a bit of support to start them off, as they’ve never done this before, but they are so happy to have this opportunity to do this themselves. The aim is that they are going to grow maize as their first crop. Sell some of the harvest and buy more seeds to plant their next crop. Hopefully, this will really help them to provide for their families, give them confidence that they can work hard and achieve and that things are getting better for their community.
Here are some photos and videos from when they received their gifts and of the ground clearing and planting. What we would like to do now, is to keep raising these small amounts of money so other groups of people living in extreme poverty can also help themselves to have a better, brighter future.
Imagine a time where we no longer needed a feeding programme as more and more families were able to provide for their children. That is the end goal – for the community to be self-sufficient and sustainable. If you would like to help a second group (only £150) to start their own business then please either email contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com or donate at https://donorsee.com/project/24574?share=1 .
We are so grateful for all the support we receive. We always say it’s about teamwork and we couldn’t do what we do without your help. Thanks again, Sarah x
Thanks to those who funded Agribusiness Group 1, we’d love to be able to fund another group and give more people the opportunity to earn their own money and be self-sufficient.
