The FCB Foundation has added a new centre to its growing international aid network. The latest addition is in Malawi and offers academic, sporting, medical and nutritional support to some 120 underprivileged children.

The Foundation’s 5th XICS centre in the African continent was opened on 13th May in the central Malawian town of Chezi. The ceremony was attended by Foundation director general, Marta Segú, representatives from the Foundation’s local partner, Active Africa, the staff of the centre and many local people.

Local involvement

The ceremony started with a blessing from local spiritual leaders, which was then followed by the unveiling of a commemorative plaque. The party was rounded off with dancing and drama performed by the children themselves.

Infrastructure

The centre has four classrooms, a changing room, storerooms, a sports field and a fresh water well that also supplies the surrounding fields and helps to increase the agricultural production of the area.
