Network for a Better World was founded in 2012 by a group of twelve returned volunteers who decided from their experience of working in Africa that N4BW would offer the hand of friendship and a promise of partnership to some of the most marginalised people in our world today. We are currently based in the UK, and work overseas in Malawi to help fight poverty.

N4BW aims to be an instrument of peace and progress in a divided world.

N4BW has set up a range of initiatives in Malawi to help increase quality of life. Click on each icon to find out more about each project. Help us carry on the great work by donating below.

At this sort of grass roots level, our modest investment of time, energy and money could have a better chance of truly helping those that need it.

Fr Owen, Parish Priest of Sitima Parish was recently visited by his brother, nephew and friend. They decided their family holiday would be a working one culminating in a gift to the community.

Working with local builders, they removed the damaged plaster from the classroom walls, replastered and repainted them, installed new doors and windows, and even repaired the potholes in the classroom floors

The children of Nakhombe School are absolutely delighted with their beautifully restored learning spaces and the teachers are smiling too.
