Help Mbinzi School Fund Desks for their Students

Donation protected
Hello Everyone! 

I am Taryn Veen. I am from South Africa and I'm currently studying in the Netherlands to become an international primary teacher. I have spent the last 10 years living in Malawi, also known as the Warm Heart of Africa. 


What is the cause?
I am raising money for a local school in the capital of Malawi, known as Lilongwe. Close to my house there is a school named Mbinzi L.E.A. School for both primary and secondary students to attend. Most of the local schools in Malawi have limited facilitates, materials and resources that are available to help student learning. 

At Mbinzi, they only have 25 desks for 600 students to do their school work.  Over 120 students learn in a small classroom at once, sit on the floor for the school day and try to learn. This is not an ideal condition for any student to learn in. Due to such limited resources children are denied the chance to learn under adequate teaching circumstances.  


Why is it so special?
Malawi is a very special country that's close to my heart, and seeing young children struggle in schools because of resources they should have access to, is extremely difficult. It's vitally important to give the chance for every child to have an equal education that helps them learn in a comfortable environment.  

Your thoughtful and compassionate donations would mean you are giving many students a chance to have a better learning environment, experience and education. 


How will the money be spent?
The funds you help raise will be used to make as many desks with a connected seat as possible. These desk - seat combinations will be able to accommodate 2 children to sit next to each other.  There is a knock on effect with your donations as they will not only be supporting the students but also a local Malawian who makes these tables. 


Thank you!
I want to thank everyone that will consider donating towards this fund. It is greatly appreciated and all the students are so grateful to soon have desks and chairs to complete their work in a pleasant and enjoyable space!
