Imagine a scenario where you are asked to go to Cape Maclear in Monkey bay for a weekend. Your lodge, they tell you, will be ten mitres from the lake. In fact, you will be staying right in the lake. They don’t stop there, but they tell you that the money you will pay is not going into anyone’s pocket but is helping to buy drugs for the kids!
That is what Mpiphe Lodge, run by Andiamo Youth Cooperative Trust, will be doing once it is officially opened in August. Money realised from this lodge will be used to buy drugs for Comfort Community Hospital in Balaka. What a way to practice charity!
