Although the longest inland water lake in the world, Lake Lilongwe, is part of their country, the lake is salty, and water is a problem. Transportation is also a problem. The Malawi Children’s Village is at the southern tip of the lake and provides services to 37 villages within a 15 mile radius. A District 8210 Rotary Club coordinates the project. The village has four programs: Infants and Toddlers up to age 3, a Village Education and Outreach program for education on irrigation and farming and distribution of mosquito nets, a secondary school, and a technical school.
Our thanks to Don Gray for his presentation and for his work with an important Rotary project.
