Malawi Backpack Appeal

Why backpacks and stationery?

Imagine the wide, beaming smiles of children as they receive their very first backpack, brimming with essential school supplies. For the students of Nsanga School in the remote regions of Malawi, this isn’t just a moment of happiness; it's a beacon of hope and a stepping stone towards a brighter future. 

During our visit to Nsanga Primary School, the Pepala team witnessed firsthand the challenges these children face. With approximately 1,245 eager learners, the lack of basic stationery and backpacks is a daunting reality. Many of the children we met bravely attend school every day without the tools they need to succeed, making their journey to education even more arduous.

We have the power to change this. With just £10, you can provide a drawstring backpack filled with essential stationery and resources for a child at Nsanga School. This small yet significant contribution will equip them with the resources they need to learn, grow, and dream big. 🎓🎒📚✏️🖊️


Education is a Lifeline: Every child has the right to access quality education, which is a fundamental building block for their future.

Empowering Through Education: With the proper tools, children can excel in their studies, fostering confidence and a love for learning.

Strengthening Communities: Your donation will not only impact individual students but also uplift the entire Nsanga community, fostering a cycle of empowerment and growth.
