Tell our project manager Tom Bowden what you have in mind contact Building Malawi here. We would love your support!

We aim to raise £10,000 per year. So even the smallest donation will help us get closer to this target. This typically covers the cost of one building. So please help us. Small efforts make a huge difference! 

 

People like you make this possible. Please help us! Free things you can do right away that really help us:

How to set up a Just Giving page and start raising loads of money for a great cause:

 

1) Follow this link: http://www.justgiving.com/BuildingMalawi/Raisemoney

2) Set up a page

3) Share it with your friends and relatives.

 

When people donate in this way it goes straight into the Building Malawi bank account. No need for sponsor forms or for you to collect the money and send it! Easy!

 

It's so easy!!!! And remember...

• 100% of money raised goes to the people that need it
• We have minimal UK running costs (our committee members pay their own way for meetings and travel to Malawi)
• All of our projects are run by Malawians 
• Our projects are sustainable

Thank You to all our fundraisers!

Donate footballs

(or netballs or full football/netball strip)

Malawi is seriously underdeveloped with regards to sport. They suffer from a lack of sports equipment. Footballs and netballs do not last long as they get so much use on hard surfaces. So please consider sending items to us!

We have introduced Malawian branches of Liverpool FC, Colchester United FC, Dedham Old Boys FC, Pollards Inn FC, Newcastle University, Willaston Youth FC, Boxted Wanderers Youth, Neston Nomads FC, FC Inter Minan, CUSA FC, Norwich City FC and Wivenhoe Youth FC. Perhaps it's time for your team to branch out!

We are looking for the following items. 

Laptop Computers
Printers
Footballs 
Football boots
Full Football team kits (at least 10 shirts please)
Football goalposts
Football goalnets
Netball poles and Hoops
Netballs
Volleyballs
Tennis Balls 
Tennis raquets
Tennis Nets

 

We take everything out in luggage allowance on personal flights so unfortunately we have to be selective with what we take.

We aim to get a photo of your kit in Malawi to thank you.

Please make sure everything you send is in usable condition - it does not have to be new please contact us to arrange delivery or collection.

 Thanks!
