"I feel truly blessed to be able to have been in an eye-opening and heart-warming trip, I would advise people to go on such a trip at least once in their lifetime." - Sidra Raoof Chaudry, Volunteer in Kashmir 2017
"Going out there and seeing the work that's done by the locals and the charity has given me a wakeup call and a dose of reality. I can truly say that is by far the best week of my life so far and I would recommend it to anyone to go out there and experience what I experienced!" - Juweyria Abdullahi, Volunteer in West Africa 2018
Children of Malawi
However, due to lack of facilities and classrooms, there are many children in Chiradzulu out of education. With your support we want to build more classrooms and facilities to meet the demand and redevelop the existing school structure, creating a sustainable and quality learning environment for the orphaned and needy children.
