Build an eLearning Center in rural Malawi!

Dear Supporters,

We are so grateful for your support for this project and can't thank you enough for making this dream a reality. We began this fundraiser in June 2018 and have surpassed our target of $10,000 this month! With your donations, we have been able to purchase solar panels, furniture, 8 laptops, 150 keepods and set up the eLearning center at Chilimba Secondary School at Mbando village, an offline, offgrid community.

Here are some pictures of the recent training done at the eLearning center. As you can see the youth are showing great interest in gaining knowledge from the electronic learning resources.

Moses Phulusa, our Community Coordinator recently shared a picture of a youth, who he said was inspired to become a welder from reading about the profession and watching some videos at the eLearning center. He is now an apprentice with a local welder. See his photo next to the metal window that he assembled.

Moses's Whatsapp message when he shared the photo: "A youth after  seeking information from e learning has a keen interest  welding and fabrication and has joined the welder at Mbando"

Some women learnt how to make soap through the eLearning center. Students of both primary and secondary school study at the eLearning center from local text books which have been uploaded on our server. We have also translated (through volunteers) many books from English to Chichewa and uploaded on the server. These educational materials mean a lot to the community. 

Your donations made this possible. As we have achieved our objectives of setting up the center and have surpassed our fundraising target, the Board of Abundance has decided to conclude this fundraiser.

Please remember that you are part of our Abundance family. Let us continue spreading abundance where there is lack. Wishing you an amazing 2021 and thank you once again for leaving this legacy at Mbando village!

Hope you are all keeping well? After some rises in COVID-19 cases, Malawi's number of cases have been declining, which is great! Lets hope it continues this way. We have slowly started our work and allowed field trips recently, after many months of working remotely. 

Quick updates from our side on the eLearning center:

1. On 17 September, Ruth Mumba and Grace Moyo went to Chilimba Secondary School which hosts our eLearning center and distributed 300 masks for learners. In addition, they distributed 200 masks at the primary school too. This is with kind donation from Road to Relief facilitated by Augustine Mumba, our supporter. Enjoy two pictures - one of handing over of makss to Hamela, the Headtecaher of Chilimba Secondary School and the other of learners sporting the new masks distributed. The masks are made from cloth and reusable. 

2. Schools opened recently and further to that, we have tasked Moses Phulusa to hold a meeting of the eLearning committee to select a date for a training session at our eLearning center. The trainer is ready to provide his services during the weekend, as he works as an educator during the week. Once we hear back from the commitee, we will swiftly arrange a training session.

Very many thanks for your continued support and we will continue updating you with the progress made. Do follow our facebook page "Abundance Worldwide" where we provide more regular updates.
