Hope Harrison Lodge, Mzimba Malawi

Donation protected
We are raising money to support the building and running of Hope Harrison Lodge in Mzimba, Malawi, a project inspired by Hope who died earlier this year of cancer.

Hope Harrison Lodge was inspired by Hope's visit to Malawi in February 2015, and enables young women to return to or continue their education. Many of the women left school when they became pregnant or when they married (typically around age 15/16) - and were then left at home without education and often without family support.

The money raised here will support the development of the lodge, which currently houses 4 rooms, a kitchen block and a nursery. It will provide women with a place to live during the week, so that they can attend school on a regular basis. Hope Lodge will also grow its community use, where life skills (such as cooking and sewing) will be taught to local women.

Initially we hope that money raised here will help to buy corrugated iron sheets for the roof and frames and glass for the windows; as well as helping to provide school fees for more young women, increasing the places available from 4 or 5 women to 10-15 women.

Hope Harrison Lodge also supports women and children who are refugees of domestic violence, or are looking for a safe place to stay and meet new people. It also serves as a place for young people who may have run away from home, to have somewhere safe to stay and be looked after.

This page is for anybody who would like to donate towards this project in memory of Hope.

Also, we would like to be able to do more to support the development of the work at Hope Lodge. We welcome any fundraising ideas you may have - sponsored walks/10k runs/cake sales etc.

[There is also a chance for people to bring football kits that you no longer need to the match happening on Sunday 4th September in Cambourne and these will be sent to Mzimba, Malawi where Hope Harrison Lodge is being built. These kits will be loved by all in the village where football is their passion!]

Thank you everyone who has supported this so far x
