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.

Our focus this month...

Life-changing livestock!

Hunger is acute and widespread in the rural areas, so eggs are invaluable!

During the next few months, we’re aiming to provide chicken units             (1 cockerel and 2 hens) to as many vulnerable families as possible, as a pass-on breeding project.

As the chickens mature, each household “passes-on” young stock —just 1 cockerel chick and 2 hens—to another vulnerable family, monitored by our staff and extending free range poultry throughout the villages.  

Eggs and meat to eat, and surplus to sell to enable households to buy the basics. A simple project, but multiplying all the time. 

Would you like to help? 

As a guide, each chicken “unit” costs about £17,                                                      but has the potential to go on providing nutrition and income for years……‍

Previously:-                                "thank you for roofing......"

The rainy season is imminent and many are distressed about their leaking roofs.

Regina’s is one of the vulnerable families whose roof we replaced last month. Previously it was collapsing and the family was at risk of sleeping in puddles - inside their house!

This replacement involved engaging a team of craftsmen, removing what was left of the former structure, replacing timbers and bamboos, lining with plastic sheeting, then covering and securing  with roofing thatch.

Means a family can rest safe and dry, without fear of leaks, soaked bedding, and ruined possessions. 

Life transforming!



 
Thank you for your help….
