Margaret, regular donor
Margaret visited Malawi as part of a small group from local churches in 2003 and describes it as a ‘life-changing experience’. She loved meeting and talking with Malawian people but was aware of the extreme poverty and the hardship in many people’s lives.
Margaret came home from Malawi determined to support the organisations working to alleviate poverty and inequality.
Jaclyn, regular donor
Jaclyn Conington is a regular donor to MMF. She explains why it is so important to support girls’ education in Malawi.
Jaclyn has been a music teacher for 19 years and got to know about MMF through Mariot, Mamie’s granddaughter, also a music teacher.
“I had the pleasure of visiting Malawi in 2008 and witnessed first hand the amazing work the Mamie Martin Fund does. This is why I continue to donate regularly as regular donations are key to enable the girls to continue their education within a safe and stable environment that values girls.”
“Thank you so much for the update, news and stories. I really enjoy reading about everything that has been happening at MMF – and the girls’/ women’s stories were so impressive and inspiring.”
Penny Turton, London
“A lot of the big charities hassle far too much. I know they all have their place, but it is off-putting. I prefer to donate to smaller charities.”
