Welcome to MACS
MACS has been working in Malawi since 1993. This lovely land is among the poorest ten countries in the world.
We work in partnership with local people on education, health and community projects in the rural areas, where the needs are greatest.
Schools, healthcare and church buildings
We fund education by building new classroom blocks or, where possible, renovating damaged buildings, and by supporting learners through bursaries. MACS is unusual as most charities only build new buildings but we believe in renovation where possible.
We fund healthcare by supporting rural clinics and health centres with equipment as well as buildings.
We support the wider community with water and solar projects, improving infrastructure for them.
In the past we have built houses that enable key workers, such as nurses, teachers and priests, to take up posts in villages. More recently, we have concentrated on renovating existing housing. When a congregation has built strong enough walls for a church, and where the building is used throughout the week, we have helped by funding the roof.
Secure funding
MACS works through the local Malawian Anglican Church and relies on donations from all our supporters and churches, mostly, but not entirely, in the UK. Its UK operation is staffed entirely by volunteers all of whom have connections to Malawi.
We have developed secure funding methods to ensure that every pound donated goes to the projects it supports.
