Reporting on a wonderful visit to Lancashire. Reporting great fellowship and support of girls' education in Malawi. Reporting excellence on the cake front. Thanks to the Methodist Circuit there for their sustained support of 6 girls at secondary school.

Yes, we get around. Team MMF bravely crossed the border into England, are in lovely Lancashire to meet the wonderful people who have supported 6 girls thru Sec School in Malawi. A second 4-year project is being launched - so another 6 girls will be educated through this group's generosity & love.

Diary note if #Perthshire #Scotland is within your radius. We are delighted to be part of this fundraising blueberry picking this year. Sat 4th Oct 3-6pm is the @mamiemartin.org slot, though the fields are open to the public from now till the blueberries run out or are mushed by frost.

On International Literacy Day, we remember how vital #literacy is in the world. It's in #SDG4. It is the issue which inspired Mamie Martin back in the 1920s. New post on our website about the impact of our work in #Malawi mamiemartin.org/internationa...

Always proud to see the #SDG5 banner featuring the @mamiemartin.org for #GenderEquality. This was at the wonderful 18th International Fair Trade Towns Conference 2025 in #Edinburgh last weekend. Fairtrade is an essential part of #GenderEquality as well as all the other #SDGs #Fairtrade #Networking

Thinking about your week? Needing to do something that will nourish your innner being? Weds next, 27th Aug: the final public opening of #HumbieDean garden in #EastLothian. Part of @scotlandsgardens.bsky.social, this lovely woodland garden opening supports our girls' education work in Malawi.

Congrats to the Lancashire West Methodist Circuit who've supported 6 girls at school in Malawi. Those girls have completed their secondary education. The wonderful folk in Lancashire are starting a new 4-year support programme for another 6 girls. Wow! Maybe your group or company could do similar?

On #IntlYouthDay we honour the young people of #Malawi. #Future #Education is the key to a nation's development and well-being. We support #GirlsEducation in Malawi and believe that these young women are a powerful force for good in their country.

We were guests at the One Planet Picnic at Bell Baxter High School in #Fife recently. These young people are engaged in learning about climate change, gender equality and other issues relating to the @globalgoalsun.bsky.social We are proud to partner with this forward-looking school in this work.

Honoured to speak to AGM of @oneworldshop.bsky.social this week. Thanks for the invitation. We spoke why it is vital to support #GirlsEducation. We work in the North of Malawi - since 1993. Shared inspiring stories. Lorna screened our video onto the ceiling/wall which was great! Thx for the welcome.

What fun we had at the #Edinburgh #StockbridgeColonies Yard Sale on Sunday! Having Fair Trade Malawian goods from Kibebe Malawi made the stall very cheery. Lovely point of conversation with people as they browsed the whole neighbourhood. We sold goods and raised our profile. Oh - great fun too.

We were excited to be on the radio this week. Thanks @radiosaltire.bsky.social for the invitation and the chance to tell your listeners about our work and, of course, about Daphne and Coinneach's book, #Outlandish mamiemartin.org/mmf-on-the-a...

This ex-pupil tells us about the impact of secondary school support on her life, her family and her community. #GirlsEducation #Impact #Malawi

Mariot Dallas, eldest granddaughter of Mamie Martin, gives us a very short synopsis of why we were founded, which was in 1993, in memory of Mamie. We support #GirlsEducation in #Malawi in honour of Mamie, who did the same thing more than 100 years ago.

Highlights from the SIDA Spring Conference at COSLA! A great opportunity to connect with fellow NGOs, professionals, and passionate individuals working towards positive change in international development. #SIDA2025 #InternationalDevelopment
