ASSOCIAZIONE SOLIDARIETÀ MISSIONARIA CARPI ONLUS

Last year, on the heels of a major earthquake several Malawi districts were pummelled by torrential rains that devastated the Country, causing floods, complete or partial collapses of homes and widespread damage to the maize crop, almost ready for harvest at the time. This is the context of the work of the Carpi Missionary Centre, especially with the rural nursery schools project for the construction of 117 nursery schools, 10 of which have already been built despite adversities and are currently accommodating 6,496 children taking part in an educational and nutritional programme. Since most of the teachers are working on a voluntary basis, the missionary centre can run the project with just 200 euro per month. However, the emergency conditions currently afflicting the Country are making it necessary to meet the cost of flour for the refectory, totalling around 4,000 euro/month: less than one euro/month to feed each child.
