Donate

We need your help to make this project happen – the quicker we raise the money, the sooner we can improve the lives of lakeside Malawians.

How you can help

We need to raise £2 million / US$3 million, and you can help us by becoming a:

  • Founder by giving at least £25,000 / US$37,500
  • Benefactor by giving at least £10,000 / US$15,000
  • Supporter by giving at least £2,500 / YS$3,750
  • Friend by giving at least £100 / US$150

All donors will be listed alphabetically by category on this website (see the Donors page). Founders, Benefactors and Supporters will be listed on Thomas Miller’s website, in the lobby of Thomas Miller’s City of London office and on a donor board on the renovated ship.

Founders will be invited to the commissioning of the ship and for an additional £2,000, they may have their name or company logo on a banner on the ship.

Donations in Kind

We are also seeking donations in kind of both marine and medical parts. Please click here to find the current list of marine parts required for the renovation. They are banded by their approximate cost. Almost all of these will be purchased in Europe, the USA and Asia as well as South Africa.

If you supply or manufacture a part or parts on the list and would like to donate it to the project, we would be very pleased to hear from you: please contact our Fundraising Director at mark.holford@thomasmiller.com. We will be shortly launching a challenge to the world's marine industry to donate the entire list. So we need your help!
