Dans Mission Malawi 3 Page!
Part of Mission Malawi 3
16 motivated, committed and very energetic supporters took on Mission Malawi 3 in May 2008. They cycled along streets lined with smiling children, they trekked through the bush and they visited ActionAid's HIV/AIDS work and met the people whose lives they are transforming. This is the third Mission Malawi challenge and between the three challenges, they have raised an incredible £250,000 for ActionAid's HIV & AIDS work in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
For information on how you can get involved in the next challenge in 2010 email us.

Hey Guys,
I'm back again, not only was this an incredibly rewarding experience but there's still a lot of work that can be done to help the people of Malawi, and even an amount as small as £3,200 can make a real difference. Mission Malawi 2008 is going to be as much of a challenge as the previous trek, and I'm really excited to be involved again. It was initially set up in 2003. Over the past 4 years it has raised over £170,000 through the 2 challenge treks which have involved more than 50 people.
Why is Mission Malawi Important?
The incredibly high infant mortality rates due to HIV/AIDS in Malawi, over 1-in-7 people are living with the condition and someone dies every 9 minutes from it. Many families are left parentless and the eldest child – often only 11-12 years old – becomes the main provider but has no skills or education to support the family. Malawi is one of the countries worst hit by the Aids pandemic.
How has the £170000 been used?
Mission Malawi has always been associated with the charity ActionAid because of their focus on providing community-based support in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Malawi. Their projects go further than medical support; they provide education & training to young people orphaned from HIV/AIDS so that those remaining can build a life and avoid the cycle of poverty.
So what now?
On Satruday 10th May it all begins again
I will fly from Heathrow to Lilongwe (capital of Malawi) from where I will cycle for 6 days (330km) and hike for 4 days (100km). The route will take me around the shore of Lake Malawi (worlds 3rd largest lake) and across into Mozambique. Accommodation will be in hostels and under canvas so I will be at one with nature!! (I will somehow find a way to cope with the bugs)
