During the last couple of months we have been distributing more #MenstrualCups to schoolgirls in #Malawi. We have expanded our reach and we are excited to hear how the girls get on over the summer and the impact for them during the next academic year. #periodpoverty#Africa

We are extending our vegetable & chicken project with 3 other project volunteers including Beach Village Committees who protect the lake. We hope it creates an income stream for them so they can continue to their important work on the project. rippleafrica.org/chickens-and-v… #farming

Sweet potato #farmers gathered for a field day followed by #cooking demonstrations. Recipes included how to incorporate orange fleshed sweet potatoes into bread, porridge & juice. They shared success stories, praising the crop's drought resistance and high yields. #Malawi

More positive news with regards the confiscation of illegal fishing nets. In Salima a staggering 1,769 brand new illegal monofilament nets were confiscated from #fishing supply shops. Well done to everyone involved in the Fish for Tomorrow #conservation project. #Malawi #Africa

Do you remember Mr. Dedicated who we introduced last October? He raised 5,000 tree seedlings which he planted in December. Our team visited him and the seedlings are growing well. Samson said, "We are heading for a global #climate rescue. The future looks green!" #Malawi #Africa

Augustin & Yesaya attend Reading Club. Augustin loves to read & is hoping to get better at writing English. Yesaya joined seeing how much his brother loved it. Lacking confidence, we are hopeful that Reading Club will give him focus & encouragement. #Malawi #teaching #education

Loyness is a great example of a #farmer learning new skills to continue on her own. She is raising pigs and her fruit trees are growing. She said, "I am selling pawpaw. This has been a good business for my family. I am planting new fruit trees, replacing any old ones." #Malawi

Enforcement teams in Nkhotakota District conducted a patrol and confiscated 21 Monofilament nets and five large mosquito nets. This is a brilliant result and it is great to see the different departments working together to protect fish for the future. #Conservation #LakeMalawi

The environment club at Kasamba CDSS has 30 members. Since the trees were planted, the students water them & weed. Tione, Form 4 student, said, “This will help the school as they will be sell the timber & use the money to buy resources." #Education #treeplanting #Malawi #Africa

Susan is a farmer on our orange-fleshed sweet potato project. She sells some of the crop to fund school fees for 2 of her sons at secondary school. She said, "I want to boost my yield & teach my neighbours new recipes spreading knowledge and food security." #Malawi #Development

Last week was a joyous occasion with 280 children graduating from our eight pre-schools. They received a certificate and the children did performances to show their knowledge. We wish all of the children the best as they start primary #school in September. #Malawi #graduation

Growing vegetables is a brilliant way to generate funds to set up chicken businesses in #Malawi. This year we are running a pilot project with existing groups from other projects to see if this can be an income-generating activity for them too. #farming #sustainabledevelopment

Who needs a stuffy meeting room when there is a perfectly placed tree? Matilda, one of our #MenstrualCup Trainers, has been distributing cups to 1,000 women in #Malawi. Can you help alleviate #periodpoverty in one of the world's poorest countries? rippleafrica.org/menstrual-cups…

Repairing broken boreholes provides communities with access to clean water again. As the first water is being pumped through and clearing the pipes, it is a lovely opportunity for the children to enjoy a splash about. #water #cleanwater #WASH #Malawi #Africa

Mazembe Pre-school had an extra pupil recently with Watson, our Education Coordinator, joining the class. His role is to run, support, and monitor our #education projects which includes regular visits to each of our eight pre-schools. It looks like he was having fun! #Malawi
