Malawi Smiles®
The founder of Hippopot Herbs, Alice Nugent, was born in Mozambique, and raised and educated in Zimbabwe. During the independence war in Mozambique some family members moved to Malawi. So Alice has strong connections with all three countries.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. For many years Alice had been helping her sister, nieces and nephews, and their children. But from 2014 their needs increased, especially as Alice’s sister became frail and subsequently died.
The project started in 2014 with a group of six children. The youngest of these is still in school and making very good progress. In response to the wider needs, Alice and her husband Terry formed Malawi Smiles as a charity dedicated to helping a larger group of children.
The next fundraising event organised by Malawi Smiles is the Feast at the Chief’s Kraal.
Come to this event for a Taste of Africa!
In August this year, several volunteers from the Marlow area will spend a week running a workshop for 72 young people, building their self-esteem and health awareness, and developing some income-generating projects. The volunteers pay for their own travel, but we need funds to buy materials and equipment for the workshop. The most expensive items will be sewing machines.
The Feast at the Chief’s Kraal is an African themed party raising funds for this Malawi Smiles workshop. The Feast is in the garden (in the open air). Food will be on the go all day!
