We are making a difference in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. This is a land of hardworking subsistence farmers, beset by drought and lack of resources. Every contribution, from malaria treatement, to hand pumps for irrigation, to $10 microfinance loans - makes a major improvement in these family's lives. 5 5 0 5 0 0 276462 210435 0 0 377 14248 0 0 276839 224683 264058 227769 0 0 0 0 0 0 1341 3252 2799 267310 230568 9529 -5885 79688 73802 0 0 79688 73802 Improve the provision of medical care to the people of Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world; Recruit a select few American high school juniors/seniors, by means of an annual scholarship competition, to travel with one of the medical teams going to Malawi;Provide, in a holistic fashion, as many sustainable development opportunities as possible to the poor farmers of the Kasungu East District; Help prevent further malaria deaths; Help expand educational opportunities for students in Malawi; Provide new economic opportunities; Promote conservation agriculture and combat climate change 0 0 148705 0 Agriculture: Establishment of a dairy cooperative project; promoting conservation agriculture; chicken pass on project; direct monetary farmer support 44061 0 Education Project: Donated laptops are capable of containing a wealth of information that Malawian students would not otherwise have access to.
