In April the budget increased from 20-30 thousand which is the money which is donated to the libraries every month. In the past 6 months we have managed to donate 35 books to the libraries. These two libraries on a monthly basis they do accommodate almost 4,000 people from different areas who comes to the library to study and some for different reasons. In the same month of April it was agreed that we start supporting some schools which we work with and these are Chipasula Secondary school, Kaps Model PVT Schools, SOS Secondary School and Falls Secondary, and Lilongwe Primary school. During the meeting in April it was agreed that each school per month will be receiving a monthly grant of K20, 000. Some schools complained that the money was too little and some were very much appreciative with the fund. During the time we started this grant (For schools) we have been receiving negative responses from Chipasula so we decided that we stop giving the grant to the school and give it to a more needy school. Msambachikho primary school was considered as one of the schools we need to start supporting. Challenges. The funding is still considered to be not enough both in libraries and schools as the prices of books and other stationery materials are going high. There is a need for ceilings and air conditioners in the libraries to make the reading environment favorable.
