Since 2005, Masambiro has partnered with and provided direct assistance to a wonderful Malawian team at Kunyanja Secondary School and more recently to Kunyjana Educational Trust. Watch a short film to find out more about our work:
In the past 15 years we have:
- Built a school with many classrooms, a library, a science laboratory and a school hall that sees over 5000 children come through its doors and 1500 through adult education
- Through a bursary programme funded over 80 children a year through secondary education who otherwise would not have access to education
- Supported the growth of income generation projects including a piggery and a community garden
- Worked with our local Malawian partners to create Kunyanja Education Trust based in Malawi to oversee the governance of all the projects
- Supported over 50 students and members of staff through university
- Completed the building of a girls dormitory for 56 female students to be able to board at the school
We are now faced with the challenges of Covid-19. Thie challenge to keep schools running in the fac of social distancing measures alongside the chalenges of poverty caused by the pandemic are immense.
