That this House recognises the remarkable generosity of Margaret Birse, of Arbroath, who ran the Niaroo guest house for many years and, following her death in April 2022, left over £650,000 to the Dalitso Project; notes that this gift is now funding the construction of the Niaroo Maternity Hospital in Kambilonjo, Malawi, providing vital maternity care in a rural community where childbirth can be life-threatening; and further notes that Margaret Birse's legacy will save countless lives and stands as a lasting tribute to her compassion and commitment to supporting the most vulnerable.
