Cement is the single most expensive commodity used in construction in Malawi. The reason is it has to be imported from South Africa and therefore costs even more than it would in the UK. It is also one of the most important ingredients required for building. It may not be a sexy option but the cement you donate will be used for our latest building project. We need cement to ensure that the schools and libraries that we build last. Best of all we can tell you exactly where your bag of cement goes and indeed we would welcome you to visit us in Malawi and see the exact building that your money helped to build. So make a donation today and help us Build Futures in Malawi.

Unusual Auction Raises Money For BFIM Library Project
Monday 16th August 2010
The recent Building Futures in Malawi Blues and Rock Garden Party went down a storm. Not only did a larger than ever crowd revel in the unique atmosphere that was electrified by some of the best musical talent in Colchester, the charity gift auction was an unusual turn of events. As regular guests of the BFIM music event will know, each year a cake is auctioned off to raise money to improve the lives of children in Malawi, but this year there was a surprise in store for the guests. An employee of sponsors High Position, an Essex based search engine optimisation company, offered themselves up for bidding in return for a night out on the tiles. In good spirit Kerry McCarthy was won by colleague Tobias Bowman and the pair spent an evening drinking fine wine and eating good food, followed by some dancing at a local nightclub. In total the event raised a stunning £5,900 which will go towards the latest project, building a community sports school which includes a secondary school, sports fields, community centre and library amongst many other things.
