Temwa works in remote, rural areas in northern Malawi where 40% of people live on less than £1 a day, 16% are HIV positive and a third do not have enough food on a daily basis. Our mission is to develop self-sufficient communities by supporting projects in education, health, agriculture and forestry and microfinance.
These projects:

Train villagers in the importance of good nutrition and sustainable farming techniques.
Plant trees to combat the effects of deforestation.
Run mobile HIV testing clinics and establish HIV support groups.
Promote literacy skills to young children and fund students through secondary school.
Give microfinance loans to budding entrepreneurs.
Our work supports some of the most vulnerable households in the region such as those which are headed by a female or child, are hosting one or more orphans or where someone is HIV positive.
