Rosie's House and Mangochi Infant House go solar

 

We were delighted to learn from Charlie at Open Arms that our solar powered back-up equipment has arrived and is in the process of being installed at Rosie's House and Mangochi Infant House.

On the back of Covid-19 and the impact the disease is having on fundraising, Open Arms is having to move towards educating more children in day schools and fewer in boarding houses over the next few years. 

In Rosie's House, the solar back-up will allow the charity to reenergise its computing programme - which together with maths and English - is so essential for readying students for employment in Malawi.

The rest of the equipment will go to Mangochi Infant House to provide better night-time emergency lighting and run computer support during daytime power outages.

Charlie was keen to pass on his thanks to the supporters of Watson's Malawi Partnership, assuring us that the equipment, pictured here with KK, Benson and the local electrician, will enrich lives in Malawi.
