Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 17, 2018, a donation ceremony was held for the China Ambassadors Scholarship program/Beautify Malawi (BEAM), a program jointly funded by the Chinese embassy in Malawi and the Malawian government. The "China Ambassador Grant" project is intended to allow young girls to stay in school, thus preventing child marriages. The project will bring more than 300 girls back to school, with a total amount of 32 million kwacha. Ambassador Liu Hongyang and Gertrude Mutharika, founder of the BEAM Foundation and wife of Malawi President, attended the ceremony and delivered speeches.
