Project's Future:
The future is bright! We are trying every-which-way to raise the money needed to launch the project beyond the pilot scheme. For this we need as much help as possible, and we're hoping we reach this goal by the end of 2009.

We're otherwise ready to go! Focusing on partnerships with organisations in Malawi and sustainable installations in partnership with communities, future libraries will be locally owned and run, and based on the experience so far, will make a huge impact on the education of many, many pupils.

About us
The Malawi Education Project is a Bristol (UK) based organisation that aims to support education, literacy and access to learning resources in Malawi, South East Africa. MEP began life as a book donation project, collecting surplus educational resources including books & stationary which were shipped to Malawi in 2006, and put to extremely good use in creating our two pilot libraries, in Cape Maclear Primary School and Sambani Secondary.
Energised by the success of the pilot, MEP came back to the UK where support for the project had grown, and decided to turn this good idea into a sustainable, effective and efficient charity, working hard to help thousands of the worlds' poorest children to gain an education that will in turn assist the development of Malawi as a Nation.
