A PROJECT backed by Twiss Green School to improve the lives of children in Malawi has received a cash boost from Christ Church Primary School in Padgate.

Pupils there raised £1,000 through raffles and other events organised by former teacher Sandra Bryers whose son who did volunteer work in Africa.

Twiss Green's Edward Mtitimila received the money on behalf of the Mwanjati Trust and gave a talk to puils describing how their generosity will help people.
