StillVision Abroad - Aquaid Lifeline Part1, Malawi

The final part of our month in Africa was a visit to the Aquaid Lifeline Fund's orphan village of Namisu near Blantyre in Malawi. The Cambridge based water company and associated charity are coming up for 10 years old and we were there to help them produce an anniversary brochure. Since starting out Aquaid have put over 3 million pounds to good use with their Malawian projects donating £732,000 last year alone! The orphan village is an amazing success and the work being done by the charity owner John Searle is really inspirational.

The number of projects has grown and grown and we managed to visit a good number of them. We also met a number of the people being helped either through schooling, day care, employment, college sponsorship or simply given access to medical treatment.

Hopefully the following images sum up the good work being done and portray the positive atmosphere that exists within the projects, the people that work for them and the children that they help:
