Covid may be lessening its grip in the UK but it's far from over for our partners in Malawi. They rely on our tourism to fund, support and raise awareness of their work to alleviate poverty in Malawi. Can you help keep them going?

Story

Hi, our names are Jude and Katie, we are 2 S5 pupils at George Watsons College who will be attending the trip to Malawi with the School in October. We will be walking the 7 hills of Edinburgh on the 18th of June to raise money for the charities and organisations George Watson's College supports in Malawi.

We're raising money for Watson's Malawi Partnership to alleviate poverty among young people in Malawi.We believe education, good health, access to sport & culture and caring for the environment are way we can help the most. That's why we have partnered with Tom and Rita in Mangochi to include more children in primary school. And we distribute reusable sanitary pads made locally by Tina of Trinipads to keep girls at school.We provide funding for four children to be cared for by Open Arms in Blantyre and Mangochi. And provide life-saving equipment for Achikondi Clinic.We find sporting equipment and strip for young people to play football and netball.And we support ambitious reforestation programmes in Zomba and Mulanje to help restore Malawi's rapidly dwindling natural resources.Will you help?
