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.

Cyclone Freddy wasn’t the end as more and more rain came, leaving more roads impassable and more homes damaged. The photo shows the main road to Kachulu still flooded two weeks on. Aid isn’t getting through to some of the more isolated parts and families are trudging their way to temporary refuge centres in schools in the hope of a dry night and a meal each day.

Thank you all for the prayerful and financial support you have offered

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.
