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...
Fruit Trees...
Our reforestation programme usually finishes in the first part of the year so tree seedlings grown can be planted with the rains.
However this year, as well as distributing thousands of seedlings for timber, firewood, green manure and nutrition, we want to “branch out” into a fruit tree trial.
We’ve identified over a dozen different varieties of trees, some termed “exotic” and rare in our area, so we hope to introduce new nutritional benefits through them.
Like to help?
Just for info—10 tree seedlings is about £20 including transport, and each could go on producing for generations!
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:- "Distributing Sweet Potato vines..."
Thank you for your help!
Our Sweet Potato project has been active through the rainy season, and since February, 650 households have been given a pile of vines to plant for their family's benefit. This is a great opportunity for their hard work to produce a valuable food resource and income from the surplus.
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.
