For children in Malawi with severe mobility and posture problems and who are still too small for a wheelchair, home chairs for tots mean that they are not condemned to life lying on the ground or the floor. With a home chair for tots they can now watch the world from an upright position like everyone else and be fed more safely. The chairs are made locally and to orthopedic specification, with adjustable strapping through the chair back to allow for each child’s particular posture needs.

We St. Joseph Health Centre Nakabango, wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Committee and Donors of the KTCT for the grant availed to install solar power in our Health facility.

Please see below, four photographs of our 2022 farming project in Malawi. They show a field of maize at various stages of growth, and the harvested crop in a grain store. This project was at the villages of Yalero and Malemba. It was a difficult start to our programme because the cost of the farm inputs of seed, fertiliser, and herbicide had risen considerably. This is in line with the worldwide increase in farmers' costs due to the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine. This meant we had to carefully manage our budget, and cut back on some aspects…
