Malawi school fundraiser

My name is Ivy Young and I have been involved in the scouting community since I was ten. I am now an Explorer and have been given the opportunity to change the lives of young people living and attending school in Malawi.

As a young girl I have always felt safe within my community travelling to and from school, however this is not a reality for many girls in Malawi. Their daily journey to and from school frequently involves harassment and worse including kidnap with intentions of forced marriage which results in the end of their education.

I have the opportunity to help give these girls choice! The school in Malawi, where I will be visiting, needs boarding facilities including bunk beds and desks to enable the girls to stay at the school. I will be helping to build and maintain this equipment which will facilitate and support their education.

The total cost of the trip is £3500. My parents have kindly given me 10% and I will be paying for half of the rest therefore will need to fundraise £1575. The trip will take place in August 2025 for approximately 4 weeks.

Any support would be greatly appreciated, thank you for any donations!
