THANK YOU

UBWINO WA AMAYI would like to Thank You for your donation to their 'Educate a Girl" project. We are now over half way to our target of K1.2 million. This will educate 50 girls for 4 years at secondary level and 25 girls will learn a trade at the trade and agruculture school in Namitembo.

In a small way we hope to help Malawi achieve Millennium Goal 3 which is to 'Promote gender equality and empower women' by helping to eliminate gender disparity in all levels of education by 2015.
