Sanitary Pads For School Girls in Malawi

We are delighted to have received
$103.17 disbursement sent for donations through Sep 30, 2024 by GlobalGiving towards our project on Sanitary Pads for Girls in Malawi. This is a small sum compared to what we are aiming for but it is still very much appreciated. 

With this first disbursement we are going to purchase our first sewing machine within this month or in January next year.  We have already identified a used sewing machine which is stilll in very good working condition.

We are opting to buy the sewing machine instead of leaving the money in the bank until our targets are meant because doing so will greatly erode the value of the amount received over even a short time. The malawi Kwacha is declining in value at an extremely high rate.  Whereas banks still offer unrealistic exchange rates the parallel black market exchange rates are twice the bank rates, leading to severe shortages of dollars which is the currency used by most funders.

We are very grateful to all your donations. In our next report we will be posting more on what we have done.

With your assistance we can change the plight of many girls in Malawi.

Thanks
