A memorable visit to Malawi!

Malawi is known as the warm heart of Africa.

I met Helen, one of the founders of Reach Foundation UK, in 2021 and she inspired me to visit the home of the Pashello Charitable Trust in the southern district of Chikwawa where I stayed in April 2022.

I feel really privileged and moved to have seen the schools and feeding schemes, serving three hundred children and funded by the Reach Foundation UK, in action.

It was so wonderful to be welcomed into the vibrant and harmonious community and help them with their immensely beneficial work.

The humour, humility, grace, gentleness, and joy of the Malawian people is absolutely delightful to behold!

Thank you very much - Zikomo kwambini - to everyone who made my stay in Malawi possible. 💛🙂🇲🇼🙂💛

Below are some of the photos Dan took during his trip.

Covid 19 Pandemic

During the Covid 19 pandemic, although the Community Based Children’s Centre’s had to close, the Reach Foundation Team worked hard to distribute monthly instalments of food to children in their villages. The team travelled to each of the villages once a month to deliver the children’s food in plastic buckets. The buckets were filled with enough food to keep the children well nourished until it was safe to start classes once again. The Reach Foundation maize mill was well used during this period and our incredible team of volunteers worked tirelessly to care for our 300 children who are now attending classes again with their friends. A massive thank you to all of our volunteers in Malawi for showing such amazing dedication and commitment through difficult times.

New Hope in Chikwawa

Thanks to some incredibly generous donations, We have been able to support the purchase of a Maize Mill which has since transformed the lives of many families living within Chikwawa. People eat maize everyday in Malawi, sometimes it’s in every meal so being able to process it almost for free is a huge step in overcoming hunger. Families who are able to grow and harvest Maize from their fields, can use the Maize mill for free. This in turn allows them to save money and continue farming throughout the year.
