Pledge a prize for our Christmas charity prize draw 2025
hOW BUSINESSES, clubs and associations CAN support girls education in Malawi this Christmas
Girls in Malawi miss up to five days of school when their period arrives, due to lack of access to sanitary materials, changing rooms and social stigma. Think Malawi is focussing its efforts on addressing these problems in seven schools across Malawi.
We are looking for UK organisations who want to make a direct impact on this problem, by providing prizes for our 2025 Christmas prize draw. Income will go first towards period poverty projects in Lufilya community Day Secondary School and Mzinga Primary School in northern Malawi. Any excess funds raised will go to our other period poverty projects.
How does it work and who's running the draw?
Tickets for the draw will be available online via fundraising platform crowdfunder.co.uk. It will be promoted to our supporters across the UK, as well as more widely through an online advertising campaign. It will commence in November 2025 and will end in December 2025, with prizes being distributed shortly afterwards.
Think Malawi is a UK registered charity (no. 1141352), and is entirely volunteer led, meaning minimal overheads. Over 90% of donations are spent directly on the projects in Malawi which we support. We work hand in hand with grassroots Malawian organisations to improve access to quality education, allowing Malawians to fulfill their ambitions, improve their quality of life and contribute to Malawi’s development.
