For over five years, the Evanston Township High School (ETHS) community has been partnering with some schools in Malawi. ETHS has been raising funds that go to teachers and administrators on the ground in Malawi in order to purchase farmland, fertilizer, and seed, and then purchase & install a solar powered irrigation system. The resulting crops are a major component of school curricula and culture, and are harvested in order to ensure the children have food for the entire school year, regardless of weather conditions - this includes during dry seasons and longer term droughts, preventing future famines from occurring and keeping the schools running!
Please watch this video for more information about how this partnership developed.
