In the charity's own words
We work with Malawians on educational projects improving access to quality education, allowing them to fulfil their ambitions and improve their quality of life. We continue to work hand in hand with award-winning, high achieving nursery/ primary school Ganet's Adventure School, as we have done since 2011. We are run by volunteers enabling over 90% of our income to go direct to projects in Malawi.
