PPE direct to the school door


Many thanks to Aaran and Paul for delivering essential personal protective equipment to our three partner schools in Mangochi: MCV, Bolera Palms and Thom's Colourful Classrooms.

Schools in Malawi officially reopened in February after a surge of cases forced the government to close them at the start of the year. However, without essential PPE, teachers and children are nervous of returning so WMP has been doing its bit to help make conditions safer. 

With funds raised by friends of WMP this year, Aaron was able to buy locally-produced masks, sanitisers, soap, buckets and thermometers for each of the three schools. Paul and Aaron then set off on a 300 mile round-trip to deliver the equipment and show people how to use it effectively.

Thank you for your kind message I'm always grateful to hear from you 😊   We are all doing just fine And our school garden has just begun.We have planted some maize as we are in rain season.  Many thanks to GWC for the support 🙏 May God bless you all 🙌 .  We managed to purchase a tank and pump and installation is in process. We hope to make it ready by the end of the rain season.  I have just realized that a fence wire is also needed in order to protect our pipes from being vandalized and our plants from being damaged by cows, goats and chickens.
