Everything we’ve achieved over the past 19 years simply wouldn’t 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-sufficient communities in northern Malawi, then we’d love to have you on board!
From baking cakes to climbing Kili, and from hosting music nights to running the New York Marathon, over the years our wonderful supporters have come up with ingenious and exciting ways to raise invaluable funds for our projects.
If you’d like to organise your own fundraising event for us – no matter how big or small – we’d love for you to join our community of supporters! Get in touch with us on info@temwa.org or 0117 287 2892 to discuss any ideas and find out how we can work together.
Not got the time to manage your own event but still want to do something fun to support our work? Join #TeamTemwa and take on a sponsored challenge for us instead!
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 oft-overlooked regions in the world.

Leave a Legacy That Will Change Lives
Leave a legacy with Temwa so that you can change lives for years to come. With a gift in your will, Temwa can continue to work with communities to bring life-changing development to communities in Nkhata Bay North.
How can leaving a legacy help?
Leaving a legacy means bringing clean water to families, it means training farmers and improving food security, and it means providing a more secure future to children.
Since we started working in Nkhata Bay North in 2003, waterborne diseases have reduced by 85%, communities have planted over a million trees, and the Usisya library has received over 2000 visitors.
Your legacy will build on this work improving the future of thousands of people across northern Malawi.
