Update of our progress
By Caleb Muchungu | Country Coordinator
We are so delighted that we have just received another donation. Yes, we are still far from our target but people like you give us a lot of hope.
We are highly committed to make this project work. If you have been in Malawi you will understand why this project is so important to us.
We have been working with schools since 2013. One of the less talked issues by girls is their periods, taboo subject in many spheres.
But lack of sanitary pads impacts girls in very many ways. It starts with missing school for a day, two days, then quitting altogether.
We believe we can make a difference. Your support has never been more important. We really appreciate it.
We really value you.
Positivo team.

Update on Sanitary Pads for Girls in Malawi
By Caleb Muchungu | Country Coordinator
We are happy once again to update our esteemed donors on progress of our project on Sanitary Pads for Girls in Malawi. We appreciate that the global economy is very constrained and many people may not have the capacity to contribute to projects all over the world. But we really appreciate those donors who have, despite this, dug into their pockets to support this project. We promise that we will not disappoint you. So far are delighted to have received
$103.17 disbursement sent for donations through Sep 30, 2024 by GlobalGiving. This is a small sum compared to what we are aiming for but it is still very much appreciated.
We have kept this sum safely because it is below what we can purchase a sewing machine with. But we are hopeful that once we reach an adequate amount we shall surely purchase a sewing machine so that production of sanitary pads can at least start, however modestly that will be.
This is a very important project to use since it caters for a very vulnerable group. We look forward to your continued support.

First amount
By Caleb Muchu | Country Coordinator
We are delighted to have received
$103.17 disbursement sent for donations through Sep 30, 2024 by GlobalGiving towards our project on Sanitary Pads for Girls in Malawi. This is a small sum compared to what we are aiming for but it is still very much appreciated.
With this first disbursement we are going to purchase our first sewing machine within this month or in January next year. We have already identified a used sewing machine which is stilll in very good working condition.
We are opting to buy the sewing machine instead of leaving the money in the bank until our targets are meant because doing so will greatly erode the value of the amount received over even a short time. The malawi Kwacha is declining in value at an extremely high rate. Whereas banks still offer unrealistic exchange rates the parallel black market exchange rates are twice the bank rates, leading to severe shortages of dollars which is the currency used by most funders.
We are very grateful to all your donations. In our next report we will be posting more on what we have done.
With your assistance we can change the plight of many girls in Malawi.
Thanks
