It is of course fantastic that since January 2022, the children of Bolera Primary School, in Malawi are being taught. We receive a huge number of nice videos that we do not want to withhold from you. We can say that the first phase of our project Bolera, building the school in Malawi, has been successful but unfortunately we are not there yet!

There is still a great lack of good and especially sufficient teaching materials. Because of the enormous influx of children eager to learn, there is a great need for simple things like chalk, notebooks, pencils and pens so that each student can write in his or her own notebook. Also, there is a great shortage of textbooks in English and local languages. Now often more than 5 children look at a textbook. There are requests for, for example, 1,000 pens and 2,500 notebooks. Simple items, but for an average family in Malawi a bigger expense. Now how the children learn to write? Well, with their fingers and sand. Not efficient but it works, just look at the video to the right!

As a recognized cause and foundation, we focus on good education for the children of Malawi. We do this by building schools but also by providing teaching materials, providing water pumps and helping with construction projects. Friends for Africa also wants to do more for the children of Africa and that is why we keep going one step further, the Bolera Primary School has been the biggest project for us so far and we are still very proud of what we have achieved. You can also read more about that here.

In order for the children to be taught properly, we need the teaching materials. However, for this we need donations and for this we need your help. Do you also want to contribute to good education in Malawi, Africa?
