Unsurprisingly, this year we are facing a triple whammy of increased demand for our interventions, rising costs and fundraising challenges. Our beneficiaries haven’t escaped either with Malawi facing the worst food crisis in a decade. Our support and your support is needed more than ever.

We are aiming to raise £4200 to help us build more of our fuel-efficient stoves for families in rural Malawi. Over the years we have found that these stoves have numerous benefits for our beneficiaries:

The liberation of women and girls from the time consuming chores associated with traditional cooking methods in Malawi. Our own survey results indicate that average time savings are 52 hours per month.

Enhancing livelihoods - liberating women and girls from time consuming traditional methods enables them to engage in economic, social and educational activities. Our surveys indicate an improvement to incomes between 50% and 90%.

Less trips to the hospital. The Esperanza stove is safe to use, it is cool to the touch even when there is a fire within it. Our surveys indicate that burn injuries are a thing of the past.

To address issues of deforestation. Our stoves burn more efficiently and as a result they use up to 65% less firewood.

For just seven days, the Big Give offers you the opportunity to have your donations doubled - and, in doing so, make an extraordinary difference to families in rural Malawi.

Give what you can - and it will be doubled. We acknowledge that due to the cost of living crisis, you may want to help but may not have the means. However, there are other ways in which you can help us. Liking or sharing our posts with your own community is a huge help and can help to spread our message even further.
