Our first charity partner, Ripple Africa was founded in 2003 by Geoff and Liz Furber.

Ripple Africa’s overriding aim is to empower communities in Malawi so they themselves can achieve a sustainable future. They do this through a well-established and successful Environment, Education and Healthcare projects by providing a hand up, not a hand out. This philosophy has been central to the charity’s ideology for nearly two decades.

They use simple, low tech and innovative solutions that are community led, and firmly believe that they can continue to secure long-term change in Malawi by growing the projects which include forest conservation, tree planting and fish conservation together with pre-school education and the rehabilitation of those with disabilities.

All of the projects are run by an incredible Malawian team who work hand-in-hand with the community. Ripple employ 690 Malawian staff and have more than 12,000 Malawian volunteers working across the projects, all striving for a positive future for themselves, their communities and future generations to come.
