Scotland’s civic links with Malawi CONSTITUENCY MAPPING

HOLYROOD 2016

by the

Scotland Malawi Partnership and our members:

921 Scottish organisations with active links to Malawi

May 2016

Executive Summary:

Each year more than 94,000 Scots are involved in a civic link with Malawi. The Scotland Malawi Partnership exists as a politically

neutral and non-governmental membership networking helping to coordinate, represent and support the work of 921

organisations and key individuals linked with Malawi across Scotland.

To do this, and to maintain all-party support for its members’ work with Malawi, the Scotland Malawi Partnership helps its

members connect with their local MP and MSP, and to brief MPs and MSPs on Malawi links in their constituency. Every single

constituency of Scotland has a number of civic Malawi partnerships.

This latest report, compiled after the May 2016 Holyrood elections, gives a handful of examples of Malawi links in each of

Scotland’s 73 Holyrood constituencies and 8 regions. The partnerships contained in this report are just a fraction of all the

Malawi links across Scotland. Full details can be found at www.scotland-malawipartnership.org.

Scotland’s links with Malawi:

Connecting SMP Members with their local MP:

The Scotland Malawi Partnership is politically neutral and non-governmental. However, in helping coordinate, represent and support our members’ work with Malawi, it is important we connect effectively with the governments and parliaments of Scotland, the UK and Malawi. We help to build and maintain strong all-party parliamentary support for Scotland’s friendship with Malawi in all three parliaments and are always keen to help connect Members of Parliament with SMP members in their constituency.

To this end, we publish details of how Scotland’s links with Malawi are spread across Scotland and are excited to announce in July 2015 that there are Malawi links in every single Westminster constituency in Scotland. This document gives examples of Malawi links, constituency by constituency, in order to help our members connect with their local MP, and to keep MPs briefed on local links with Malawi. The links contained in this report are just a fraction of all the Malawi links across Scotland.

About the Scotland Malawi Partnership

The Scotland Malawi Partnership (SMP) is the national civil society network coordinating, representing and supporting the people-to-people links between our two nations. We represent a community of 94,000 Scots with active links to Malawi.

We have more than 921 member organisations and key individuals, including half of Scotland’s local authorities, every Scottish university and most of its colleges, 150 primary and secondary schools, dozens of different churches and faith-based groups, hospitals, businesses, charities and NGOs, and a wide range of grass-root community-based organisations. Our work permeates almost all aspects of Scottish civil society.

We exist to inspire the people and organisations of Scotland to be involved with Malawi in an informed, coordinated and effective way for the benefit of both nations. We do this by providing a forum where ideas, activities and information can be shared on our website, through our online mapping tool and through regular forums, training events and stakeholder meetings.

Put simply, there is no comparable bilateral relationship anywhere in the world. It is admired and emulated across the globe

Scale and Impact of Malawi links:

In July 2014, to mark Team Malawi’s arrival at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the university published updated research which found that an estimated:

94,000+ Scots are actively involved in links with Malawi (an increase of 10.5% since 2010);

198,000+ Malawians are actively involved in links with Scotland (an increase of 33.7% since 2010);

SMP members contribute more than £40 million in finance and in-kind inputs to their Malawi links (an increase of 33.3% since 2010).

As a separate exercise, the SMP also commissioned a study of 516 randomly selected Scots which found that:

There is four times greater awareness of Scotland’s links with Malawi than any other African country;

46% of Scots personally know someone actively involved in a link with Malawi;

There is an incredible diversity in the links which exist, with more than 40 different types of engagements between Scotland and Malawi named by participants;

74% of Scots are in favour of links with Malawi (55.4% “strongly” in favour), and only 2.4% are against.

“there are Malawi links in every single

constituency of Scotland”

ECRAD - The main area of our charitable activity involves raising funds to support the work of ECRAD

(Empowerment, Counselling, Relief and Development) in Malawi. Our main aim there is to make a real

difference among Malawi children orphaned by HIV/AIDS supporting their education and welfare (food,

shelter, education, and medical care). The activities we support cover an orphan care centre, primary school,

feeding programme, support and irrigation of a 2 acre land for crops, pigs, poultry (which is part of our

development of self-sustainability), sport fixtures promoting health, HIV/AIDS education an Adult Learning

Centre and other community affairs programmes. Our work in UK is led by Derek Wood and in Malawi by Rev

Malison Ndau who was also recent elected in May 2014 as an MP to the Malawi Parliament.

The Healthy Lifestyle Project - The Healthy lifestyle Project, originally based at Rosehall High School and

now relocated to Coatbridge High School, promotes positive and healthy lifestyles to primary and secondary

pupils, parents and residents in the Coatbridge area. Scottish teachers and health professionals will assist

their Malawian partners to encourage, inspire, motivate and empower more girls to access and successfully

complete their education. The project will use an integrated holistic strategy to support girls' education,

through this they will sensitise parents and communities to recognise the value of educating girls.

WaterAid - WaterAid transforms lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world’s

poorest communities. We work with partners and influence decision-makers to maximise our impact. Since

1981 WaterAid has reached over 14 million people with life-saving water and over 9 million people with

sanitation and improved hygiene since 2004. Clean water is essential for life, but one in eight of the world's

population does not have access to it.

St Michael's Primary School, St Mary's Primary School (Coatbridge) and Coatbridge HS all have active,

dignified, two-way school-to-school link which is informing and inspiring generations of young Scots to be

good global citizens. It is transforming lives in Malawi and Scotland. The former sends school trips to visit

privileged in Malawi to eradicate the Health problems and develop the education system by providing medical,

Iris Aitchison - She went out to Lilongwe in March 2010, as part of the Scotland-Malawi Partnership Quality

Strand. On her return, she led a team of staff and students within Forth Valley College to fund raise and they

funded 4 girls' education: one of these girls went on to study the Advanced Microsoft Examination (one of only

8 people in the whole of Malawi to gain this qualification). Her industry placement was also funded by them. In

addition, they sent clothes, stationery items, footballs and football strips for Chisoma Orphanage in Lilongwe.

Never feeling that they were doing enough to make a real difference, she sought the Principal's approval to

work towards Fairtrade Status: this was achieved in March 2011 (reapproved March 2013).

Malawi Fruits - are a young charity (est 2012) with a vision to stimulate economic development in the North

of Malawi through supporting a local partner to set up a food processing business. Their partner is the newly

established Myika Food Trust, based in Mzuzu, and they are working with them on business planning for a

medium sized enterprise based in Phwezi. Their aim is to have a processing factory which will provide a point

of sale for fruit growers throughout Rumphi and further afield and they will produce fruit juices, preserves and

dried fruits for sale in Malawi and neighbouring countries.

St Bernadette's Malawi Partnership - Following a visit to Malawi last summer, their Parish Priest and the

Parish Priest of Namulenga, where he was based decided to set up a partnership between both parishes and

their local schools. As music is a major feature of worship in both communities, they plan to share & exchange

recordings of our music and hope to fund a visit to Scotland by members of the Namulenga choir. Their initial

project is funding a container of goods to Namulenga and raising awareness through our parish bulletin,

displays, parish website & parish Facebook page, promoting the cultural traditions of both countries and their

shared history.

Zambesi Mission - Zambesi Mission has been linked with Malawi for more than 100 years. It is a faith-based

organisation which has worked alongside churches in Malawi, more especially, but not exclusively, with the

Zambesi Evangelical Church, helping to train church leaders.

than £10,000 enabling the group to hand over football tops, pencils and jotters to children and much needed

wind-up torches to adults living in the small villages near Monkey Bay.

Group member Mark Wylie said: "One week on after arriving home from volunteering in Africa it's very easy to

fall back into normal life with TV, clean water, iPhone, plenty food etc.

"I keep thinking about everyone we met and in comparison how much more happier they are, how much more

enthusiastic the kids were, and how much more appreciative the adults were.

"These people had nothing but poverty and disease yet were much happier with bigger smiles than most of us

in the UK. It says a lot and certainly puts everything into perspective!"
