Malawi Impact Marathon 2019 · 20 May 2019 to 26 May 2019 ·

The Malawi Impact Marathon supports the incredible work of Naturally Africa across the fishing communities on Lake Malawi. With capacity building at it's heart, we support the community across the fields education, healthcare & agriculture.

Story

Our partner in the small fishing village of Nkope, on the banks of Lake Malawi is an intimate and humble organisation that has steadily built a wonderful relationship and reputation in the community. The villagers have only ever asked for one thing: To Learn. In this way the Naturally Africa Foundation projects are all based around capacity building and teaching. The agricultural land is a testing ground for crops and farming techniques that can stand up to the rigours of Climate Change. With this information and training, we can effectively support all the families in the region diversify their subsistence farms to improve the consistency of yields and the variety of the diets to combat the chronic malnutrition. We will be using the £30,000 to build a sustianable fish farm that irrigates the agricultural land where we will be testing new techniques and crops that are resilient to Climate Change and will lead to a more diversified diet for the families of Nkope...
