Mtende Community Project would like to thank the Kitchen Table Charities Trust and their donors for the grant of £6,000 which we used to provide 90 desks and 9 teachers tables and chairs to 3 primary schools in the Ekwendeni area of Mzimba district, Northern Malawi.  The desks were made in Ekwendeni by local carpenters. The grant also provided 3 notebooks and a pencil for 250 pupils in each of the 3 schools. The desks were very much appreciated as until then the children had been sitting on a stone floor.  These schools are in rural areas and there was…

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. The chairs come with a detachable lap tray that serves many useful purposes. Please…

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…

Thanks from Malawi Farmers Aid

Thank you, KTCT, for your generous grant which will enable us to fulfill our farming projects in rural Malawi during 2022 and 2023. This support means we can provide training and farm materials to groups of unemployed youngpeople in the poorest rural areas of Malawi, enabling them to start their own small farms. Fivevillages will benefit from our projects in the next two years, providing food, sustainableemployment, and valuable income to some of the poorest communities in Malawi. Overseas aid rarely reaches these more remote communities, so it is left to NGOs such as Malawi Farmers Aid to intervene. And…
