The project You will be involved in the second phase of the first primary school. The majority of your time will be spent on the building site – don’t worry; you don’t need any specialist building skills. You will, however, have plenty of opportunities to meet the local people and play with the children.
You will be staying in a basic but com- fortable team cottage with no elec- tricity, but you will be able to get to know the Yawo people and discover a different culture from the inside. The trips are best suited to those who have previously experienced life in a developing nation and are over 18.
Trip dates The gift of learning for a forgotten people
Our South African partners have been working with the Muslim Yawo people of Malawi since 1996 in the remote, mountainous South East of the country - caring for their physical, social and spiritual needs.
Few of the Yawo children receive any education, as they need to walk five hours to get to the nearest school and back. The long term aim is to have a primary school in most Yawo villages. The first of these building projects began in the summer of 2010. When it is finished the government will provide teachers and materials for the school to run.
Education will transform people’s lives and will be a huge witness for God’s love towards the Yawo. Come and join us on the project and experience the beauty and simplicity of life in the ‘warm heart of Africa’.

Contribution £1,495 Trip contribution is requested to cover all expenses. All further money you raise goes directly to the project.
Calling all teachers You have untold riches to impart to the teachers of Africa. Come and join a Teaching Team in Uganda, Sierra Leone or Zambia. As you work alongside local teachers you will be passing on valuable experience and insights.
TEACHER TRAINING TEAMS
Most of them have had little or no training and have to teach large classes of children with virtually no resources. The insights that you can offer them will help to revolutionise the way they teach in years to come, in turn offering a whole generation of children the chance of a better education and ultimately a better way out of terrible poverty.
