In September Mbedza CEO & DIrector, Julian, returned from a four week visit to Malawi where he had the opportunity to visit all our Mbedza projects and catch up with our staff.

A big thankyou to Hannah and Emma who have raised a whopping £1070 for Mbedza!

This was a truly amazing trip and I was so glad to have experienced Malawi this way.

“After a lovely evening I welcomed a good nights sleep and consequently, learnt my first lesson in Malawian culture.”

That summer, I grew to love Malawi as a country and felt so at home. I learnt so much about what it meant to be a small charity working with communities struck by poverty - and how small changes can make a world of difference.

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.

Raising the funds amongst themselves, our youth group set out to provide basic necessities to the elderly families surrounding our Songani Hope and Wellness Centre.
