Our work

Malawi is prone to both drought and flooding, and a large number of Malawians are also living with HIV. This combination can often have a devastating effect. We’re helping families improve farming methods to grow more food, preventing the spread of HIV with awareness programmes and delivering effective care and treatment for those living the virus.
