With your help, we can sure every child has to the tools they needs to learn & thrive.

During our visit to Malawi Primary Schools, the Pepala team witnessed firsthand the challenges these children face. With eager learners, the lack of basic stationery and backpacks is a daunting reality. Many of the children we met bravely attend school every day without the tools they need to succeed, making their journey to education even more arduous.

We have the power to change this. With just £10, you can provide a drawstring backpack filled with essential stationery and resources for a child at a Malawi state school. This small yet significant contribution will equip them with the resources they need to learn, grow, and dream big.

Why this matters

Every day, countless children in Malawi walk miles to school carrying little more than hope - lacking even the simplest tools to learn.

Providing a drawstring backpack filled with pens, pencils, and exercise books doesn’t just lighten their load; it boosts their confidence, attendance, and academic potential, creating ripple effects that strengthen entire communities.
