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 Mission
Providing
food and shelther to the frailest
Enabling
safe water, education, and training to empower communities
Encouraging
self-sustainability over dependency
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 2 hens to ultra-vulnerable families, especially the elderly and frail, providing not only nutritious food but also creating small business opportunities.
It’s a “pass-on” project so as the chickens mature and breed, 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 £13, but has the potential to go on providing nutrition and income for years……

Thanks for Community Roofing!
Currently the rainy season is coming to an end, and many are thankful for the new roofs we’ve constructed for them. Others who are more able, have received plastic sheeting to line the roofs they have managed to replace themselves.
Efelo (above) a single mother, lost her roof and everything inside her house when fire swept through leaving her and her 3 children thankfully unharmed, but destitute. We replaced her roof and provided school uniforms and books so her kids could continue their education.
Many thanks for your help!
Thank you!
