New library building project - another new project supported by Blickwinkel Afrika

Daniel Freude, our organization's vice president hat participated in a special seminar about the formal procedures to apply and support new projects which was held by the Schmitz foundation in Frankfurt last January. 

In addition to the acquired knowledge for future applications to various sponsors of development work, the opportunity was taken to submit an application to support the construction of a school library in Nthalire, Malawi. 

The access to and the use of books and other media is taken for granted over here. In the very rural province of Nthalire, the retrieval of information for daily life as well as for schools and scientific further education is difficult. 

Our permanent goal is to make a functioning library available to the school and to the entire local population. It is part of a just and democratic form of government that people are able to obtain information independently, self-directed and freely.
