The Trust Fund was set up with the following objectives:

- To promote awareness and understanding of global development issues in schools around the world.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Support A Student!
You can help an orphan or a needy child in Malawi go to school. $10 covers one term's school fees at a Community Day Secondary School.
A deserving Malawian student who has lost one or more parents, and has been personally recommended by the Headteacher, will be assigned to receive your donation in the form of payment of his school fees. The student will write to you to let you know how he or she is doing.
Make a small personal contribution to help a student in one of the poorest countries of the world!
