All Saints Support of Nansambo Primary School, Malawi
Over the last three years, All Saints’ Church has been supporting the work of a primary school of 1000 children in Malawi. We have particularly supported the salaries of four teaching assistants and have also contributed to improvements to the building. We are constantly amazed at the amount that can be achieved with our small contributions. Members of the Tobin family, who coordinate the project, have visited the Church and spoken to us about the work that is being done for the school and for the wider community. This presentation gives an idea of what has been achieved and future plans.
Contact Mary Baker for a copy of the actual Powerpoint presentation.

Malawi is the fifth poorest country in the world. It suffers from limited natural resources, environmental degradation and from the devastating effects of the AIDS epidemic which has already caused over 650,000 deaths and has left 1 million orphans. AIDS is the leading cause of death amongst adults in Malawi, and is a major factor in the country’s low life expectancy of just 39.8 years.
On the positive side Malawi has a functioning democracy, a tradition of peace and is known internationally as “The Warm Heart Of Africa.”
