Environmental Volunteers, Malawi, Africa We have quite a number of environmental projects, including tree planting, fruit tree propagation, vegetable gardens, fish farming, beekeeping, fuel-efficient wood-burning stove (mbaula) making, etc. Our environmental projects are not just located locally and could be anywhere within Nkhata Bay District, an area of 4,000 sq.km. We encourage communities and local Malawians to take ownership of these projects and, consequently, it can be difficult to provide full-time volunteer placements. One of the main problems, however, is transport which can be time-consuming and costly; for example, our environmental projects office is based in Chintheche which is 25km north of Mwaya, and it costs about GB£1.00 (US$1.50) to get there on public transport. However, we would be happy for any of our volunteers who are working in education or healthcare to become involved in some way with one or more of our environmental projects. If you are looking for a full-time volunteer environmental placement, we would need to discuss with you on the phone or via e-mail what your skills are and what opportunities could be available. Previous volunteers have been involved with, for example, in-depth studies related to fuel-efficient wood-burning clay stove (mbaula) usage and benefits, and community vegetable gardens for the benefit of HIV/AIDS sufferers. We will be placing great emphasis on environmental awareness training in the future. How to apply: Click here. |

Clubs and GroupsThere are a number of clubs and groups organised by previous volunteers which are either still running or which have been discontinued, and we hope future volunteers will be willing to lead or reinstate one or more of these. Some do require funding, while others just need imagination and initiative. Examples of some of these are listed below: |
