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 every food-related development is invaluable!
One of our agri-projects is distributing hens to ultra-vulnerable families, providing not only nutritious food but also creating small business opportunities. Each month, for the rest of the year, we’re aiming to supply a couple of hens to as many households as possible, as a pass-on breeding project.
As the chickens mature, each household “passes-on” 2 young hens to another vulnerable family, monitored by our staff, 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” (2 hens) costs about £14, but has the potential to go on providing nutrition and income for years……

Latest phase of veg production.....
Another way we’re expanding community food production is our Irrigation Veg Programme.
So many villagers can’t afford to buy seeds, chemicals and watering cans, so we provide them, along with training. The latest phase is successfully underway enabling another 100 families to be equipped and empowered to provide food and income for their own households.
Planned irrigation is not common in Malawi, so the emphasis on localised successful vegetable production is creating ripples in the communities with many others “catching the vision” and wanting to be part of the programme.
