Culture and the Great Lake

The Contrast of the Rich and Poor
The shores of Lake Malawi reflect the same kind of contrast, this time between the rich and the poor. The sandy shoreline contains small resort areas that attract both the rich from Malawi and other parts of the world, it also is home to some of the poorest people in the world, the residents of the tiny fishing villages that line the Malawi shoreline.
Project Focuses on Life Along The Lake
The Malawi Project has focused on the shoreline of Lake Malawi for a new group of programs that are designed to assist the people of Malawi. In the area of Senga Bay, just to the east of Salima the Project is helping the military to build a library for residents who have never had access to a library. In Senga Bay, at the Cool Runnings resort, medical supplies and equipment are in transit to assist in setting up a clinic where over 12,000 people have had no previous access to local healthcare. In the trading center of Salima assistance is being given to the Kuthandiza Osayenda Disability Outreach in the form of funds and supplies. Additionally a shipment of 500 wheelchairs is currently in the planning stage. South of the trading center funding has been given to assist a group of orphan children who were trying to fend for themselves in a destitute village.
