TMT Kenya opens a new orphan support programme in Malawi.
Malawi is one of the world’s most impoverished countries. More than one million Malawi children are orphaned due to HIV/AIDS and one in ten adults lives with HIV/AIDS (roughly 90,000 people).

Congratulations to #periodpoverty campaigners with today's tampon tax announcement. These products are unavoidable necessities for women and girls and it is right that tax collected should go towards ensuring no-one goes through daily life without them. https://t.co/lzO8wqA2O0

Most girls in Kenya miss one week per every month because of their periods. Eventually they will drop out of school altogether because they have fallen too far behind. We are working to keep girls in school and provide training to help them understand and care for their bodies.

We've had a great response to our BBC Appeal https://t.co/NR2XhiTr5f featured this week #BBCRadio4Appeal and which talks about some of the barriers stopping girls in western Kenya from attending school and getting the education that they so desperately want.
