AID AFRICA
Serving the most vulnerable in rural Malawi

Malawi is regarded as one of the poorest countries in the world; in the remote regions, there’s acute poverty, widespread hunger and malnutrition.

Aid Africa, a small UK charity, powerfully impacts Malawi’s rural areas by running an integrated group of projects, each tailored to local need, designed to empower communities and help individuals in our target group: orphans, the elderly, those living with disabilities and the AIDS-affected.

Building a new Community Hall in Phodogoma Village

This is a what’s left of a highly valued building.

In the past it’s been packed with vulnerable families as we’ve given out our goats milk to malnourished infants and phala (porridge) to their older pre-school siblings.  It’s still used regularly for under-5 clinics and many other community events but is now collapsing, part of the roof has gone, and it’s dangerous.  

Despite recognising it’s value, the villagers have no resources to repair so have asked us for help to bring back the heart of their village.

So we’re planning a similar replacement building designed to suit needs—a simple, open hall roofed with iron sheets—some recycled from the original building, with 2 secure consulting rooms/offices.   The excited villagers have already begun to bring sand for the building as their contribution, and have offered to carry the water required to construct.

We’ll need to locate and transport bricks, timber, cement and iron sheets, have metal window frames made,  and provide labour to demolish (carefully to retain any re-usable materials), dig foundations, build, roof, and paint…..

Thank you for your help!

Elderly folk are usually on the periphery of society, often caring for orphans without any form of income, hungry and frail. 

However, at last month’s Elderlies Luncheon, 42 vulnerable older folk enjoyed a delicious meal at our Centre—undoubtedly the best they’ve had for ages—and celebrated with song and dance, lively chat and good company.  

Alongside we’ve helped with Food Tokens, Cash-for-Work opportunities for those able to take part, and crisis support.
