A solar irrigation kit has been a long time coming but it has finally arrived. It is going to make a big difference to the agricultural projects at Bright Futures Campus.

A huge THANK YOU to The Rotary Club of Allander and The Rotary Foundation for supporting the purchase of a solar irrigation kit. Also thank you to Rotary District South Scotland for facilitating the grant application. Stuart from The Rotary Club of Allander (Milngavie) put a lot of work into the grant application. We are grateful for the continued support and links with their club. I am looking forward to seeing them again next month.

As you can see from the videos, everything is working. The pump was being tested in a water barrel and the water being collected in buckets. There is also a huge length of hosepipe for when this solar irrigation kit is set up properly to water the crops.

I’ll share more photos and videos when I receive them. We are delighted that this is another example of teamwork making a brighter future at Bright Futures Campus.

If you’d like to help with supporting a project you can email contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com or why not have a look at our new fundraising page and make a small donation towards the projects we are helping to support Changing Lives Malawi | Localgiving . Thanks again to our Rotarian friends for their support, Sarah x

The Rotary Club of Allander, which is in Milngavie north of Glasgow, have been supporting us for over a year now in a variety of ways. They’ve introduced us to new people, supported us to raise awareness and some funds at Bearsden & Milngavie Highland Games and they’ve had a variety of fundraisers during the year and Changing Lives Malawi is one of their chosen beneficiaries.

At the end of last week, we received a generous donation of £1,410 from them. This is from all the fundraising they have been doing. We are really grateful to the Rotarians and to everyone who contributed. The money will be put towards income generating projects…we will do a separate post when planning is well underway for these.

Also, we are delighted that the Allander Rotarians have decided to support a young person’s education at Bright Futures Secondary School. Sabina, has passed her primary school leavers exams but, without help, wouldn’t be able to attend secondary school. In Malawi, it is only primary school that is free.

As well as not having to pay anything for her education at Bright Futures Secondary School, Sabina will have school uniform, stationery and free, nutritious school lunches. This is one of the big expenses – feeding all the students each day – but it is vital as, for most, it is their only meal of the day and it saves their families having to feed them. It is £25 per month to sponsor a young person so please do get in touch if you would like to help. contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com

Thanks again to the Rotarians at The Rotary Club of Allander…we are very grateful to you and delighted to be working with you to make a difference, Sarah x
