Description
During 1992, several former missionaries visiting Malawi received desperate appeals for assistance from many church institutions. The first of these was for funds to repair the very old classrooms at St. Martin's Primary School in Malindi and build extensions to accommodate the rapidly rising number of pupils.
On their return to the UK, efforts were made to interest churches and church schools in this project, and gradually money began to trickle in.
Soon after this an association to support church institutions in Malawi was formed so that fund-raising efforts might have some official validation. In 1993 a draft constitution was prepared and agreed and an application for Charity Commission recognition was granted. And so the Malawi Association for Christian Support was launched under the Chairmanship of Mrs. Anthea Griggs, with Miss Margaret Parr as Secretary/ Treasurer and four other trustees. Bishop Donald Arden, who had spent many years as head of the Anglican church in Malawi, was asked to be the Patron.
