We love that schools are using our website to learn all about what life for Malawi children is really like! Thanks The Downs Malvern for all your help fundraising over the last few years you are helping to make such a big difference to the children here!

A new and exciting project has been given the go ahead to start at Matandani! Through my work with VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas), I have been able to build my very own version of a mobile solar powered projector! This little invention has caused quite a stir in VSO and anyone who I’ve shown. With the advance of technology, I have been able to use a projector that is powerful enough to run off a battery but bright enough to be used in a typical Malawian classroom. [ 553 more words ]

For the first time in Matandani’s history, the plan to have student teachers from the nearby Machinga Teachers Training College has finally been realised. In October, 6 student teachers came to stay at Matandani, living together in one big house very close to the school. They have made a hugely positive impact at the school already in the short time they have been here. [ 844 more words ]

Thank You Finola for starting this off for me! It is great to be able to do something for these 6 students that will change their lives! Their lives are already quite hard - not being able to play football, play games in the yard and difficult getting to school by themselves - but sadly it only gets a lot worse if it goes untreated! Let's see if we can do this for all 6 of these students! Thank you all in advance!

After the success of the eye testing and glasses for the children who needed them, I have decided to attempt a new child centered medical project at Matandani! It was always very frustrating to see some of the children with a condition called “clubfoot”. I recently found out that this condition is treatable! There is a hospital in Blantyre called… [ 487 more words ]

School is back in session at Matandani, and a new term has brought fresh changes. One of the biggest improvements has been teacher’s commitment to keeping their students in the classroom during class, and transitioning breaks with other classes. Rather than 1000+ children thundering into the courtyard for a 15 minute break, classes have created a schedule so that only 100-300 students are on break at once. [ 301 more words ]

One of the biggest challenges in Matandani and most schools in Malawi is huge class sizes with many children coming to school for the first time at the age of 10 or even 12! At Matandani alone… we have an average of 165 in a class with the youngest class, Standard 1, having the biggest class of 222!! We built more classrooms and we are now working hand in hand with another charity called OneBillion who have developed another way of helping these children! [ 141 more words ]

These last two weeks have seen the arrival of 6 new volunteers from Ireland and the UK- Bernie, Tara, Maura, Clare, Emma and Klara! After a few days at the school to observe some lessons. We even played some sports like badminton and volleyball. The children have really taken to volleyball with the school team beating some of the local secondary school teams! [ 402 more words ]

It is great to be back at Matandani! While getting the tour of the school with Kenneth, I am so impressed with how Matandani has kept the school looking great, fully maintained and working well! Popping my head into some of the classes, I watch as the teachers are busy teaching their large classes. Again i'm impressed to see classes working in groups while practising for their end of year exams. [ 518 more words ]
