Food for Sponsored Children/Young People

Each sponsored child/young person has their own page on our website. Sponsors can visit that page to see photos and information on the young person they sponsor. We need more sponsors for the next intake of S1 students to Bright Futures Secondary School. contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com

We are so grateful for the monthly contribution that all our sponsors make for the most vulnerable children and young people they help to support.

We are trying to ensure that all sponsored children and young people are more visible. Last year was such a successful but extremely busy year with so much building work going on in Malawi that we didn’t get as many photos as we would have liked. However, we are rectifying that now. Each sponsored young person has their own page on our website. There will be a new photo/information posted at least every three months but, hopefully, more regularly than that on their pages. Sponsors will be able to visit their young person’s page for the most up to date photos/information and it is also a good way to look back at previous photos to see the positive difference your sponsorship is making.

Sponsorship for the young people who are at Bright Futures Secondary School gives them free secondary school education. Without sponsorship, their education would stop after primary school as, in Malawi, secondary education has to be paid for. As well as free education, the students receive a cooked school lunch each day. For most, this is their only proper meal of the day. They also have school uniform, stationery and other school supplies all for free.

For those children and young people not at secondary school, they receive a monthly food parcel that supplements the food already coming into their home. They also receive clothes, shoes, soap etc when available. All children and young people receive regular welfare checks.

There are students in their last year at Chambo Primary School who won’t be able to progress to secondary education without your help and support. Bright Futures Secondary School is only half full currently, however we need more sponsors to be able to help the next S1 intake into Bright Futures Secondary School. Will you help a vulnerable young person please? It’s only £25 per month and you can split that cost with a friend. Please help us to ensure the places in Bright Futures Secondary School are filled so that the most vulnerable students know that they have chances and choices that they wouldn’t previously have had. With your help we can ensure young people have a brighter future for themselves and their families. contact_us@changinglivesmalawi.com

There are a few young people who aren’t in these photos but we hope to have photos of them over the next few days. Thank you everyone who supports these young people. It’s always teamwork and we are grateful that you are part of our team. Sarah x

A few people to thank

We are always very grateful for the kind and generous people who support us. Whether it’s donating pencils, or shoes, driving boxes to Dundee, sharing posts, helping with fundraisers or sponsoring children….we thank you as we couldn’t help the hundreds of vulnerable children in Northern Malawi without you.

I want to thank four lots of people today who have helped us recently;

  1. Aquamarine.media in Devon have been helping us with our website and using their expertise to help us reach more people. We are very grateful for their input. Thank you Alona and Geoff.
  2. Strathendrick FC 2003/2 sections had been running in Balfron for 12 years. Now that the players have all left school and are no longer playing, the leftover funds have been shared with some local charities and UNICEF. We were delighted to be one of these charities and the money donated will help us a great deal. Thank you very much.
  3. Another Strathendrick but this time Strathendrick RFC have supported us again with more rugby kit to send to the children who have just started playing. This time they have donated a big bag of rugby balls, a box of cones and some water bottles. Once again, your support is very much appreciated. Thank you.
  4. Dumbarton FC Walking Football Club have donated a big bag of training kit and waterproofs which will be very valuable to the children in Malawi. Thank you so much for donating this. It’s very kind of you.
