CHARITY PROJECT:

The Sparkle Foundation in Malawi wish to purchase a plot of land to build a farm to not only feed the 300 children they support but also as a means of educating the children and reduce their annual food bill by 10%. The local community will also learn about permaculture and crop rotation to improve their subsistence farming methods.

The Sparkle Foundation’s vision is to deliver a future in which every community has equal opportunity to live a life of health and self-sufficiency. Their first project Sparkle Malawi, which is located in Zomba, Malawi - the fourth poorest country in the world – has four main programmes:

- Nutrition: feeding 300 vulnerable orphans and children daily

- Healthcare: registered medical clinic on-site and mobile clinic’s for children, staff and community members

- Education: provision of free pre-primary care, after school club for primary aged children, women’s group training, youth group workshops, adult literacy classes, sport and community awareness programmes

- Community Empowerment: outreach programmes and training workshops for 17 villages including sewing, farming, nutrition, micro-finance and computing
