How we plan to help1. Building Homes, Clinics, and Shelters like Orphanages and Schools

These buildings can help the people get back on their feet. The orphaned can find a home, the sick can get better, and the homeless can find shelter. Schools to get the education up

2. Build wells3.4 million people die from waterborne diseases and 3,000 children who are under the age of 5 die from those diseases to. Building wells and finally having access to clean water can help with all the people that die due to waterborne illnesses and decrease the chances of them getting the diseases.

3. SupportWe plan to support the people of Malawi with food, clothing, and school supplies when everything starts to get built and they start to get comfortable.

● Building houses for the people in Malawi who need a house ● Build orphanages for the children who don’t have a place to stay or have a family● Water wells for clean and sanitary water for them to drink.● Clinics/Hospitals for people who are in need of medical attention or have a

serious illness.● Shelters for the homeless● Clothing/food● Schools for children● Beds, kitchen tables, chairs, and lamps to put inside of the houses for when the

houses are finished.

How we plan to use the money

TimelineWe hypothesize that it would take about 10 years for our project. So, if we started our project in 2019, we would end our project in 2029.

What we’ll Build:

Positives and NegativesPositives:

● More kids will be going to school and getting an education when we build more schools

● The rate of HIV/AIDS will lower with treatments● Access to clean and sanitary water in water wells that we will build● Children will be in orphanages and be safe

Negatives:

● The county may start relying on others for help and when another disaster comes, like more flooding, they will need to depend on someone other than themselves

● There still may not be enough space for some and we will need to build more

● People may abuse the wells and the new shelters

ConclusionIn conclusion, Malawi can improve after we start our project because we will improve the waters sanitation and make it safe for the people in Malawi to drink. Kids will benefit from being at school and getting an education. People who need serious medical help or have a disease will get the attention that they need because of the clinics that we will build. By building all of this stuff that is needed in Malawi. Malawi will already start improving Malawi and making Malawi a better and safer country and people don’t have to suffer anymore.
