    my name is sherry ashiepet I an idea of helping school drop-outs especially those girls who are unable to continue with their education due to early pregnancies, rape, poverty, insecurity by giving them shelter and organize baby sitter for their children as they continue with their education until they graduate. for those who are able to go through technical trainings like tailoring, to be offered the same in the institution. I also have project for neglected old and sick. making visits and offering cleaning services at the their home. But I need financial support to make this a success.

    I am director of Kachira Youth Initiative a non governmental organisation based in the northern district of karonga in Malawi. We are interested to submit our Expression of Interest on this project. We would like, however, to know whether this project can be implemented in our district since in the project portal there are only two districts from the southern region which are shown (Zomba and Machinga).

    We would like to be assisted on this issue as soon as possible.

    Thank you.
