You may remember that two Christmases ago we invited you to buy assorted building materials for your friends as Christmas presents. You responded with your usual amazing generosity, and we were able to begin the construction of a refuge for the Women Lawyers’ Association to advise and support survivors of domestic abuse. We are delighted to be able to tell you that the large, four-bedroom house has now been completed on a secure site on the outskirts of the capital city, and beds, mattresses and pillows have been purchased from donations at a friend’s recent funeral.  On her visit later this month Pauline will be taking the large quantity of pillowcases and towels, once again donated by you, our incredibly generous supporters!  

This year we are again giving you the opportunity to give a young woman in Malawi a period pack. The reaction from last years recipients has been extremely enthusiastic, they are making a real difference to the lives of young women, and with your help we could reach even more.

For most girls and young women in Malawi, managing their periods is difficult as very few have any sanitary products or pants. Most simply cant go to school during their period which means that they miss up to a quarter of their education after they hit puberty.

Your gift of £12 will enable us to provide each female school student 5 reusable sanitary pads, 4 bars of soap, a tub to wash them in, a sealable bag to store them in, and 3 pairs of underwear.

You can donate via www.justgiving.com/campaign/periodpacks or directly into our bank account with the reference ‘Christmas’.

If you have bought a period pack as a Christmas present you can download a gift certificate to put under the tree.

Our new Christmas card, The Gift of Freedom, celebrates the transformation that our menstrual health kits make in the lives of secondary school girls.

Still also available are our former hits, The Work of our Hands, and Room at the Inn. All are available at the same low price of £4 per pack of ten, and include a simple Christmas greeting. Room at the Inn is also available blank inside for your own message.

You can order by emailing Pauline direct, and pay either by sending her a cheque (1, Apple Tree Walk, Clymping, West Sussex, BN17 5QN) or by bank transfer into our account (Sort code 089299, Acc Number: 651567 11). We look forward to helping you get ahead on your Christmas preparations!

It’s good to report that the fantastic efforts of all our loyal and generous supporters have been recognised in the Jubilee Birthday Honours List with an award which Pauline accepted on behalf of all who have helped Nick Webber Trust over the years.

Thank you all so much for all that you have made possible.
