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.

Merry Christmas to all our supporters

Christmas is a providing us with a wonderful opportunity to pass on our thanks to everyone of our supporters. That sentiment is shared by our friends in Malawi who offer a great big thank you for so many things including repairs to houses and schools damaged in the recent storm, food for some families who just didnt know where else to turn, seeds enabling families to grow their own food, training in self employment, resources for schools and many other items.

Fr Owen our Parish Priest in Sitima Parish tells us that the recession is hitting badly, with petrol, amongst other things, extremely scarce limiting the transport of supplies around the country.

The people remain resilient coping with what life brings them and sharing whatever they have

Thank you and wishing you a healthy, happy and fruitful Christmas and New Year
