Project management in the field of development aid for people in Malawi

"Young and old for one world" - young and older people may feel equally addressed here. Whether during an apprenticeship or between studies and work, or from the experience of a longer working life: You can find a task with and for us, or you can shape it yourself.

Our project work for and in Malawi is becoming more and more extensive. Therefore we are looking for committed people like you, who want to contribute effectively. In this case it is about a very concrete project: we would like to make solar cookers available to the people in Malawi. Up to now, they have been cooking in the villages exclusively with charcoal. Therefore, the land is quite deforested. Even where there is electricity supply, it is interrupted for several hours every day. We want to start in the villages where the people live at the subsistence level: Provide box cookers and/or parabolic cookers, have them (re)built and (that) people train themselves in the use and reproduction of solar cookers.

Young and old for one world... for the benefit of the disadvantaged. After ten years of development cooperation in Sierra Leone and four years of refugee work in Berlin, our focus has been on Malawi since 2018. We are currently working on the construction of a kindergarten, a school, educational workshops especially for women who want to set up their own independent existence, a doctor's house and a canteen for school meals with teaching and distribution of varied food from our own permaculture.
