A small Scottish charity which supports girls' education in North Malawi. Set up in 1993 and still doing what we do. Sadly the need is as great as ever. Thanks for your support.
Wishing you all a happy, peaceful time over the holidays, whatever you celebrate or if you don't celebrate but just enjoy the peace of things stopping for a while.

A great loss to Malawi and Scotland - yesterday, this amazing man, Alan Laverock, passed away peacefully after a fall.

He will be greatly missed. We all remember him with gratitude.

We'll have colourful fabric gifts and the famous, not-to-be-missed Kilombero Rice - all from Malawi, of course.

See you there! #Edinburgh #Leith

Great #AGM today though we missed our core tech team member from @weespokehub.bsky.social
See our YouTube channel for keynote speech and report from Malawi.
We have 27+ attendees on a Saturday - RESULT!

Thanks, hugely, to the tech team - a Zoom AGM takes a lot of work & prep - mostly unseen.
