from the Starfish UK & Malawi Teams.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This month we want to share some of the recent news from our projects that we have received.

These are in the form of testimonials from those who have been impacted by the work that we are doing. We hope that these will bring joy to your heart.   

We also include a few other news items.

Hope Clinic

One of the specialist clinics that we run is our Under Five clinic.

The under Five clinic provides comprehensive care to children under the age of five, including vaccinations, growth monitoring, and nutrition counselling provided by the Health Surveillance Assistant (HSA) provided by the government.

Aisha is a young mother from Jonasi village, She told us

“My child was constantly falling ill, and I did not know how to care for her, but then I discovered the under-five clinic at Hope clinic through my sister-in-law and everything changed.

My child is now healthy and happy, and I have peace of mind knowing that I am doing everything I can support her growth and development. The clinic has been a life saver for us.”  

Aisha is in red with her child.

Bible Explorer

Edna Mulinde is a standard 6 teacher at Kaputu primary school; she shared how the programme has been of great importance at the school.

“The programme has simplified our work in religious studies (RE) as it is deeper than RE. It has also helped us teachers and pupils in the sense that it has widened our knowledge and understanding of the Bible.

It has been a life changing programme in our school now that learners able to make informed decisions. They have now started attending classes in large numbers because the programme has props that they use when teaching, which is an exciting thing for the pupils.”

Gateway

Aida Mussa is one of the recipients of the Gateway reusable sanitary kits.

She is at Nakondwa primary school. She says she had always skipped classes whenever she is having her periods fearing the embarrassment and discomfort as she uses old rags.

Now that she has her kit she says,

“I am no longer worried about stains or leaks, I can focus on my studies and play with the boys without fear. Thank you, Starfish, you have given us the chance to be girls, students and dream big.”

Community Feeding programme

Rye Bakeries are a wonderful partner in this programme. So far, they have raised £1,284 from their donations to the programme from every hot drink sold in their bakeries.

This will go a long way to provide food in the Hungry months to the three schools that currently run the feeding programme. 

Thank you, Rye Bakeries.
