Story

In August Jamie and I are cycling over 1,000 miles from our home in the English Lake District to Lake Garda, Italy, in order to raise funds to buy school desks for Dedza Primary School in Malawi.

At Easter Jamie and I had the privilege of returning to Dedza, Malawi, in order to see the fantastic work Orfund are doing to support children there who have lost parents.

As part of the trip we visited the school the children attend, and saw the fantastic difference Orfund's new classroom block was making to over 200 children in the reception year at school. However, many of the other classrooms in the school had no desks in at all.

In Malawi only 25% of children graduate from primary school to secondary school. Lack of basic school equipment is a real barrier to effective learning. Jamie and I would like to help change that for the children of Dedza Primary School, by raising funds to provide new desks.

Any amount you can give will make a huge difference - thank you! :-D
