Tearfund Malawi

Tearfund has been operating in Malawi since the 1990s, working across the country through eight local partners. The focus of our work is helping and equipping local churches to bring transformation to their communities by harnessing the skills and resources they already have.

One of the skills that AG Care teaches is an innovative alternative method of cultivating crops called Foundations for Farming, which protects and preserves the soil, retaining moisture which can vastly increase harvests.

Tearfund has been operating in Malawi since 2003. The focus of our work is on: building up the abilities of communities to cope with the negative effects of climate change; responding to emergencies; and setting up small scale community savings groups (self-help groups) to aid social and economic transformation. We are also prioritising projects that help ensure that people have access to enough nutritious food all year round, even in times of crisis and disaster.
