As part of our holistic approach to tackling poverty in Malawi, we have run a series of skills training courses for local people. The aim is to enable them to gain the skills they need to find employment, as well as to make a positive contribution to lives of their families and communities.

So far, our agriculture and forestry programmes have consisted of several small-scale projects aimed at involving and educating the local community about the range of crops they can grow to contribute to a healthier and 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.

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; and the provision of well needed educational materials. We have also started a Temwa Schools Magazine project in the UK to help educate young 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.
