Everything we have achieved over the past 19 years simply would not have been possible without the continued support of the extended Temwa family – our staff, volunteers, fundraisers, donors, and partners, both in the UK and Malawi.
If you’re inspired to join us in our mission to develop self-reliant communities in northern Malawi, then we would love to have you on board!
From baking cakes to virtual climbs of Kilimanjaro, hosting music nights and running the Bath Half Marathon, over the years our wonderful supporters have come up with ingenious ways to raise invaluable funds for our projects.
If you would like to organise your own fundraising event for us – no matter how big or small – we would love you to join our community of supporters!
Get in touch with us on info@temwa.org or 0117 287 2892 to discuss your ideas and find out how we can work together.
No time to manage your own event? You can still get involved! Join #TeamTemwa and take on one of our amazing sponsored challenges!
From helping HIV-positive people to live full lives to empowering farmers to adapt to the impacts of climate change, every penny you raise for us really does make a difference to the communities we work with in northern Malawi – one of the most remote, poorest and underserved regions in the world.
Still looking for inspiration? Then please see Temwa’s Fundraising Pack HERE!
