Some idea on how our funds have been spent can be seen below.
• Supplied over 1600 mosquito nets to families in several villages across Malawi.
• Four bicycle ambulances to allow patients from remote villages to get to hospital.
• An installation service and training given on the medical equipment donated by various organisations in the Aberdeen area, University of Aberdeen, SAC, SEPA, and ARI,as well as several oil companies.
• We have provided enough funds to build a clinic in Mwanayaya village which had no medical facilities.This is now open providing much needed healthcare to both children and adults.
• A house has also been built for the health worker at this clinic.
• We have provided funds to build a birthing unit in Sekini village to replace one destroyed in the rainy season.
• In addition to these we have supplied water treatment tablets to many families.
• Rocket stoves to feeding stations to help preserve wood supplies.
• Starter packs of maize, beans and fertilizer to help families become self sufficient.
• £5000 given to Ekwendeni Hospital in Northern Malawi to help repair damage caused by a whirlwind.
WHAT F.R.O.M.Scotland IS DOING AT THE MOMENT
• Food is being provided for up to 1000 orphans and vulnerable children every day and we are now supporting feeding stations in the far north of Malawi as well as in the South.
• Proceeds from our Gift Scheme have been used to not only feed children but to provide other essentials such as mosquito nets, starter packs of maize and bean seeds, water treatment tablets, hygiene packs and school fees .Two classrooms have been built and equipped at Mwananyaya Village in southern Malawi where we built our first clinic in 2006.
• Money has been provided to build two new feeding stations at Rumphe in Northern Malawi after we found during a visit in July 2010 that around 100 children were being fed in grass shelters. These children were dressed in rags although they were being well fed. The staff were given money to buy material to get clothes made and when we went back to visit in Jan 2011 most of the children had uniforms, the first feeding station was almost complete and was already being used and the second one was ready to have the roof fitted. In addition another 30 children were being fed and they were all looking happy and well fed. Two rocket stoves are also being supplied.
• In addition to the feeding stations ,since July a new roof has been paid for at the Gaga Health Post maternity unit in Southern Malawi to replace one which was leaking very badly and a bore hole has been paid for at Maperema village.
• Of course the main business of feeding children is still our main priority and maize is being supplied to numerous feeding stations .
Of course none of this would have been possible without the many generous donations we have received from individuals and companies which have enabled us to raise over £166,000 to date. Every penny of which has gone directly to the projects in Malawi with no administration costs ,
It is vital that the fund raising continues to allow these children to survive .
