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...

More sweet potato vines...

We’re particularly excited by this project as it provides both carbs (potatoes) and protein (edible leaves), and from plant to harvest is just 3 months. In addition, the vines grow prolifically and can be thinned and replanted to multiply yield over and over again.

Now’s the time of year to distribute and plant vines all around the communities as the rains continue.  We’re in the process of distributing some according to our budget, but could do with many more to help villagers thrive. 

Would you like to help with this "seed" project and change lives?

As a guide, a bag of vines costs about £6.50 and would provide for 5 families.
A great and ever-growing investment into continued food supply! 


Any amount towards this project is welcome and greatly appreciated...
and would you urgently consider setting up a monthly Standing Order to partner with us?

See our Donations Page (via "donate now" button) for more info.... or if you're more comfortable sending a cheque, please make it payable to "Aid Africa" and send to P.O.Box 103, Fakenham, NR21 1BF.

Many thanks! 

Previously:-                                "Viva cassava!"

Cassava is a versatile root vegetable, durable, drought resistant and doesn’t need expensive fertilizer.  It produces tubers that can be used in many ways — cooked as a vegetable, dried for future use, or milled to form the traditionally popular “nsima” the porridge-like staple diet — and the leaves are edible too!

We’re encouraging its growth as a more viable alternative to maize, and we distributed bundles to another 500 families over the last few months. 

Thank you for your help!
