Holt Christian charity maintains Malawi aidThe North Norfolk charity Aid Africa, based in Holt, which has been working in the remote rural areas of southern Malawi for the last 15 years, has been helping the local community to cope with the challenges presented by the global pandemic. Lynda and David Mills, who live in Fakenham, run Aid Africa from their charity shop in Holt. Following last winter’s food distribution programme, the charity also gave tree seedlings to help the families in the longer-term. One of the main trees being used is moringa—a local tree with leaves packed with valuable nutrients—ideal for areas where so many are malnourished. The Holt charity shop closed in March, and with it went most of the charity’s income.
