So, because HIV & AIDS is such a devastating problem here, Temwa's health education programmes have focused on HIV & AIDS education. So far, our diverse range of programmes have targeted many different groups within the communities of northern Malawi.

• HIV & AIDS Awareness
• Peer Education and AIDS Action Clubs
• Positive Living Training
• HIV & AIDS Awareness Films/Mobile Video Shows
• Mobile Voluntary Counselling and Testing

Temwa has run a series of skills training courses for local people which aim to given them the skills they need to find employment. This also makes a positive contribution to lives of their families and communities.

• Bricklaying Course
• Tailoring Course
• Agricultural Training
• Training for PLWHA
• Farmer Training Support
• Youth Enterprise Development Scheme

So far, our agriculture and forestry programmes have consisted of several small-scale projects.

These are aimed at involving and educating the local community about the range of crops they can grow to contribute to a more nutritional diet. We have also started a budding community tree nursery and are currently undertaking some long-term research to inform the direction of our future projects.

• Agricultural Training Centre
• Community Forestry
• Wetlands Utilisation
• Food and Nutrition Security

Temwa's schools support projects have taken many forms including:

• The building of a community library and primary school block
• The starting of a scholarship programme to help pupils through secondary school
• The provision of much-needed educational materials

We have also started a Temwa Schools Magazine project in the UK. This will help to educate young British people about the problems faced in Africa and help facilitate them in making a positive contribution through activities such as fundraising and twinning with Malawian schools.

• School Blocks
