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.

Sitima, near Zomba in Malawi We identified this rural area of Southern Malawi. There was only limited input by larger agencies and governmental funders and the mainly subsistence faarmers were struggling to make a living after two seasons of drought. 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.

Congratulations to Harry and Margret

Harry and Margret Makawa have celebrated their silver wedding starting with Fr Innocent leading a celebratory mass at Sitima Parish Church.

Harry Makawa is our 'man on the ground' and has been involved with N4BW for 8 years. Harry is well known for his green fingers and he joyfully teaches other villagers how to grow food for themselves through the creation of Kitchen gardens

Schools also benefit by his skills as every year on Tree Planting Day, each school collects around 200 trees that have been grown from seed, by Harry. These trees provide valuable shade around the schools as well as lots of fruit for the children to eat.

Thank you Harry for all you do for us.

Aftermath of Cyclone Freddy

Where do we start to describe the impact of this recent tropical storm. Our national press has spoken of the loss of lives, businesses and homes but it really does hit home when so many of us have visited the area and got to know many people living there.
