We are Bristol based charity committed to empowering remote African communities to end poverty and transform their own futures.
We know that without the central involvement of the communities in a project we cannot do anything that lasts. Temwa draws on 17 years working with remote communities in Malawi to understand that many of the challenges faced by poor rural communities are linked and mutually reinforcing.
