leaving a legacy
We all recognise the importance of providing for family and friends when making a will. Your will also provides an opportunity to remember other things that are important to you, like a favourite charity.
It's a common myth that only the rich and famous leave money to charity when they die. The reality is without the gifts left in Wills by people like you, many of the charities you know and support today wouldn't even exist. By leaving a gift in your will, you can help transform people’s lives in the future.
Leaving a legacy to HOPE-malawi is a wonderful way to provide for people in a developing country. By investing in the lives of the poor, you can have an impact that reaches beyond a lifetime, giving them dignity and a future hope for themselves and their families.
