GLEN - GLOBAL EDUCATION NETWORK

In July 2013, SURCOD received its very first international volunteers. Thanks to our partnership with GLEN, Mathilde Tomasella, from Germany, and Kadri Kakkum, from Estonia, did a 3-month internship facilitated by SURCOD. Their work took place in Chididi where they organised workshops and trainings with the women from our saving and capital building project. Their internship, Economic Empowerment for the Women of Chididi, was a success and all the women Mathilde and Kadri interacted with were very thankful for their contribution. SURCOD too was happy to receive them and sad to see them leave.

COME AND VOLUNTEER WITH US

SURCOD is also willing to work with anyone who wishes to make a difference in the rural communities of Malawi. During three months at the end of 2013, we received Chris Banning, a 26-year-old Frenchman who lives in Sweden and who decided spontaneously to come to Malawi and volunteer work with SURCOD. If like him you want to make a change, or if you have another personal or professional project - thesis, research - tell us about your idea and we will see if it is possible to arrange something together. If you are interested you can download Chris' report.
