February 2025 Newsletter - Highlights

from the Starfish UK & Malawi Teams.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This month we would like to share some of our annual reports with you all. At the end of each year our project managers write a report about the work that has been achieved in the year and how this has impacted the children, families and communities that the projects are working among.

These reports include photos, data and personal testimonies which gives a real insight into the work on being done and how it is making a difference to many people.

Each of the full reports are on our website which you can read by clicking on the links below. We hope that you will be inspired by what you read, all of which has been made possible by your continued support for our work.
