FRIENDS OF WMP

To date, much of our funding is raised by the students travelling to Malawi each year. This allows us to provide tactical support for the organisations we meet during our two-week expedition, such as funding healthcare equipment and school materials. 

Now that we have such an excellent network of partnerships across Lilongwe, Blantyre, Salima and Mangochi, there are a number of more ambitious, longer-term programmes we would like to support. These include:

• Funding innovative reforestation programmes run by Mulanje Conservation Trust and Zomba TREEZ and their fire-fighting forest protection teams.

• Keep education alive for as many children as possible with student-sponsorship and teacher-training programmes.

• Sponsoring a village in the care of Open Arms. This would include funding an infant feeding station, school materials and basic medical support.

• Investing in our partners' water and energy-saving initiatives, such as Open Arms' proposal for an extended borehole that would eliminate costly water bills.

We've tried to give you an idea of what your money can fund in the boxes below - but as you can imagine, funding is fluid, so these numbers are just indicative!
