The  Upcycling Club  was busy this Christmas selling items rescued and carefully restored throughout the Autumn term in the DTE workshop. These students, from S6 through to S1, managed to raise over £500. This takes the total donated to Watson's Malawi Partnership this year to a staggering £1600. On behalf of all our partners, thank you!

  We are all so grateful for your ongoing support of our work and for cheering us on through these challenging times. Your sponsorship is enabling us to offer children like Peter the very best care and is truly helping to build a much brighter future. From all of us here - thank you!

  What a start to the new year. After many months of hard work from the team on the ground and here in the UK, the new netball court is officially open and ready to go. And what a tribute it is to Belinda, the inspiration behind it all.

As part of the Junior School's focus on COP26 summit, Primary 6 children worked with Petal from Zomba TREEZ to understand more about climate crisis and its effect on Malawi in particular. 

  Today, the promised washing machine arrived at Achikondi Clinic. And not just any washing machine, but the much prized and long sought Samsung Top Loader. You can see from the video link below just what a cause for celebration this is! For years now, Charity and her team have had to wash all the clinic's materials - sheets, uniform, dressings - by hand. With Covid, the workload was overwhelming so with  your help, Watson's Malawi Partnership funded a new washing machine.  It has taken some time to procure. Charity was very specific about her requirements but after many months searching for the elusive item, Arran managed to track the correct model down.  In the first of the video clips, Charity explains just what a difference a machine like this will bring to her team.  And in this second video, it would seem it is not just Charity who appears, as she describes it, to be 'overexcited and overwhelmed' by Arran's delivery!

As part of the Sustainability Series organised by George Watson's College, Tracy Morse shares her experience tackling public health in poorer countries. 

On Thursday, 4 November, some of our students  attended the Climate Cooperation event hosted by the Scotland Malawi Partnership and had the honour of meeting His Excellency President of Malawi Dr Lazarus Chakwera.
