<h2>About Chiringa</h2>
<p>Chiringa is our first twinned parish, linked since 2005. It is a rural community in the south of Malawi, in the Archdiocese of Blantyre. Life here is shaped by subsistence farming, and the community faces real challenges — access to clean water, quality schooling and healthcare are not guaranteed.</p>
<h2>Our Partnership</h2>
<p>Over twenty years, our support has included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Funding for classroom blocks at local primary schools</li>
<li>Borehole sinking to provide clean water for the community</li>
<li>Emergency food distributions during drought years</li>
<li>Container shipments of clothing, equipment and supplies</li>
<li>Regular visits from Tonbridge parishioners</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Relationship</h2>
<p>The link with Chiringa is the foundation of the whole project. It has taught us what genuine partnership means — not just giving, but listening, learning and walking alongside.</p>
