• Two years ago, the idea of Kudimba had just started to arise in our minds and now we are so proud of the progress the concept has made. The doors of our project are not yet officially opened and already we support two students with our Education Fund. The construction works on our land in Lifuwu have started at the beginning of this month. We will start with a family home for our manager, a store room for the building and gardening equipment, a borehole and an electricity connection. Finally the development of the garden will conclude part one of our construction works.
• Kudimba Foundation is now also officially registered with CONGOMA, the Council for non-governmental organisations in Malawi. Also in the UK, Kudimba is now an official organization, with an own proper bank account.

• Another container arrived in Salima with donations which are invaluable for the area. We distributed to a large amount of Oxford Brookes hospital uniforms donated by graduating students. The uniforms were given to the staff of a local hospital, Pothawira. Also a great donation of laptops was distributed to Kunyumba and Kudimba staff and students, thank you Judy Sweeney for your hard work collecting, renovating, packing and shipping the laptops. Thank you Fiona Sawney for the fabulous donation of children’s books to Kunyumba.
