More information
Today the Trust is engaged in making grants within its "Beneficial Area" - namely Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe for Health, Education, Welfare and Environmental projects. The Trustees have always given preference to funding buildings and infrastructure. Grants are occasionally given for very large new constructions, such as bridges, hospitals, or schools, but generally most projects are chosen with the purpose of enhancing existing establishments or programmes, such as independent, rural, or mission schools, hospitals, or wildlife schemes. It does not make grants for vehicles, and very seldom makes grants to other grant-making organisations While recognising the pressing need, the Trustees are aware of the help given to AIDS alleviation and orphanages by other major donors, and, therefore, set limits to the Trust’s assistance with the pandemic. The Trust also provides a limited number of scholarships for postgraduate courses at universities in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland or South Africa.
