Care for Malawi's older community

Hi, my name is Matt and I am fundraiser for Suzy who lives in Zomba, Malawi. In her own words, this is her story...

Help me repair the homes of my older friends.

My name is Suzy and I live in the Zomba district of Malawi. Here most of the work is very physical. This means that older people often struggle to earn the income they need to pay for essentials like food and water. Many of them have been completely ostracised and isolated: the other day, I spoke to one lady who hadn't had a visitor for fours.

They need food and water.

Because they cannot work and many have been abandoned by their families, these older friends are struggling to eat and drink every week. With your donations I can make a weekly trip to see them and ensure they have maize and other essentials to last until my next visit.

Their homes desperately need repair.

A lot of the homes of my older friends are in urgent need of repair. Without the income to pay for new brickwork, they are cracking and crumbling.
