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.

Young people in Malawi, like young people everywhere are mad on sports - quite stereotypically the boys play football and the girls play netball. Whilst the Malawi national football team doesn’t rank highly, the country’s netball team is going great guns, currently ranked as 6th in the world. This success has the girls highly motivated to play, compete and win.

N4BW runs annual leagues in both sports, the process being managed by local man, Thomas.

We are extremely grateful to the charity Kitaid for their generous donation of kits for the teams and to donors who have supplied the resources to keep the leagues going.

We also thank our volunteer, Chris, for the support he gives and the training he offers to the adult supporters in Malawi.

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.
