Nansato Nursery Trust built four nurseries in southern Malawi in 2006. It provides care, education and food for 300 pre-school children each year.

The donation will be used at Nkanda Nursery. The laptop will allow the teacher to play and learn new songs in order to teach the children.

Congleton Museum is a local museum developed to pull together as much as possible of the history of Congleton and to explore ways of exhibiting it to the community.
It was 2002 before the trust managed to open the museum in the former police station next to the Town Hall. There was by then a wealth of fascinating artefacts to display, including an Anglo Saxon log boat, a burial urn from 1500 BC, two major coin hoards from the 17th Century, plus numerous items of historical interest from more recent times.
There is also an education department that works with local schools and community groups and offers workshops and hands-on experiences.

Every child has the right to a safe and happy childhood so The Childhood Trust looks to partner with and fund the very best initiatives and projects. They use their funds to generate and match other donations, primarily through online fundraising campaigns and fundraising partnerships.
Grants are made to proven charities that are working directly with disadvantaged children. The Childhood Trust’s work is themed across three areas; meeting children’s practical needs, supporting children’s emotional needs and inspiring children with new experiences and opportunities.
The Childhood Trust’s support across these themes promotes the development of strong foundations for learning, resilience and aspiration. The impact of grants offered is externally monitored and to date we have helped over 50,000 children through the partnerships with over 150 charities throughout London.
The original donation has been used to help run the charity effectively from a new office base. Due to the organisation’s growth since moving into the new office the second computer will be used to assist in the administration of grants.

Deki are a charitable company that offers micro finance loans to entrepreneurs in Africa. They provide those who need it the most, with an opportunity to work their way out of poverty.
Deki connects lenders in the UK with entrepreneurs in Africa through the Deki website. They crowdfund for loans, then keep lenders informed about their entrepreneurs progress. 100% of each loan goes directly to the lender’s chosen entrepreneur. The loan is repaid to the lender within 12-18 months. After this, the lender has the option to take out their money or reinvest in another entrepreneur, meaning that their donation can be recycled over and over. To date we have lent over £1,000,000 and changed 40,491 lives.
Deki received a donation of a desktop. The donation will mean that Deki can do much more crowd funding, get twice as many entrepreneurs on the Deki website and get twice as many letters out to potential donors who will hopefully fund our work. The new laptop will enable them to help significantly more people in Africa, who need it the most.
