Transparency Statement on My Charity Work
My charity work in Malawi is established through Love Support Unite (registered charity number 1162406). Our projects are based on sustainable development AND NOT AID wherever possible. There are some incidents where we support crisis aid projects. I seek to provide free education to local people based on my own research that I have undertaken on the Nurturing Care Framework in order to empower vulnerable mothers and babies in Malawi. We enable Malawian women to teach other Malawian women guided by a Malawian female team. My involvement is that help provide ongoing training, resources and guide the direction of the work untaken by the Malawian team on the ground. I fund and fundraise for the project and I visit once a year for educational trips and further training. My students and donors accompany me where appropriate and I make no profit from this nor does the charity. For more details on the charity, visit www.lovesupportunite.org.

Bursaries and Mentorship
I am in talks with various charities supporting black mothers wanting to start up a business to provide technology to enable them to do this more effectively.
I continue to provide free mentorship for everyone.
This is my commitment
This is grounded action that I can commit to with the intention of regular review.
This is not the answer to solve the problem but takes things further forward.
This is not a tick box exercise. This is doing the work everyday and challenging yourself to do better.
