For children from impoverished families in Malawi, school is expensive. Fees, uniform, school shoes, essential equipment… Unmanageable costs mount up quickly.
Today, you can change that reality for a child in Malawi. Giving school shoes and uniform means that, with the support of our partners, a child can learn at school and build skills for a better future.
School shoes are made for learning
Our partners in Malawi are working in three schools – one primary and two secondaries – with a particular focus on girls. They are mentoring and supporting marginalised girls (and some boys) because they passionately believe in the value of education to break the intergenerational poverty cycle and to change lives for good.
Yet they see that rates of school dropout are high and know that in some cases mentoring alone won’t be enough to keep children in school. For some children mentoring needs to come hand in hand with practical support to overcome barriers to learning.
They have identified a group of exceptionally vulnerable children across the three schools, whose parents are struggling to provide any educational support.
This Christmas, your gift will ensure that one of those children receives a brand new school uniform and a smart pair of school shoes. They will be equipped to go to school with confidence; they know they won’t be turned away, and they will feel they can fit in.
A Christmas gift that transforms a whole year
When you donate this alternative gift on behalf of a friend or family member, you’ll receive a postcard and leaflet to give them. It explains the impact that uniform and shoes has on a child’s confidence in school, and shares a story of how a child’s life has been transformed by such essential things as these.
