Hello, Mulibwanji?
I hope you are doing fine? I just wanted to give you an update of the school progress as we have entered into another academic year.
The new school term began on 11th September and weve started off with 85 children this term. This intake is very good for the school and the community because it shows that many children are coming to school now. We have also continued doing the Feeding program at the school and this continues to make a very positive impact with the childrens health, school attendance and perfomance.We hope that we will continue to support the children with the feeding program even though we are strugling to get funding for it.
Clean and safe water is one the most hardest things to find in many rural areas in Malawi and our primary school Mkanthama is one of those victims and just this year our school head teacher suffered Cholera just because of this challenge.
As of lately we are working on a campaign to drill and intsall a borehole at the school campus so that the children and the community can have access to clean and safe water. The school is surrounded by 11 villages with a population of about 2000 people and the only source of water for these people is the River (See photo below).
We belive that doing this project at the school will have a positive impact not only to the children at but also the people surrounding.
