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.

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.
