MACS supports numerous projects in communities throughout Malawi - building water wells, repairing and equipping schools, funding orphan programmes, providing HIV/AIDS education materials, helping train nurses and supporting long term food security projects to name a few.

For further details of MACS work and how funds are supporting communities in Malawi, see MACS in action. The work of MACS is ongoing and your support will make a real difference.

Here are some ways you can support MACS.

Make a donation large or small! One off or regularly through a standing order.

MACS allocates its funds under a number of categories of work that we support including Health, Education, Churches and clergy housing, HIV/AIDS, Women's Projects, Orphans, Community projects and a temporary category of Famine Relief. If you would like your donation to go to a particular category of work then please indicate when making your donation. We reserve the right to apply funds within these categories to meet prevailing priorities as understood by the trustees. MACS supports local groups and organisations and not individuals. Remember if you are a UK taxpayer you can increase your donation by almost 30% by completing a Gift Aid declaration!

Buy a Mosquito Net

LIFELONG IMPREGNATED MOSQUITO NETS have been on MACS Gift List for several years and we steadily raise money for them. We are in touch with the Against Malaria Foundation, which sends containers to Malawi holding 20,000 long-life nets. To take advantage of this bulk buying, which reduces the price to £2.50 a net, the nets have to be bought in lots of 5,000. We are trying to reach the goal of £12,500 for one lot of 5,000 nets and every little helps. “If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.”

Contributions can be sent via www.againstmalaria.com/MACSNets or by cheque to the Hon Treasurer (see contact us for details). Please add Gift Aid if possible.

Stepping out for Malawi
Twenty-three people of varying ages set out from Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, on Saturday 26 September. They were following in the footsteps of Charles Mackenzie, who, over 150 years earlier, as a curate living in Cambridge, walked five miles on Sundays to lead services in All Saints’ Church in the village of Haslingfield, and then walked back again. He did this for three years. In 1860 he became the first Bishop of Nyasaland.
