Where your donations go
New Ways supports projects in Kenya, Ethiopia, Malawi and South Sudan. The majority of our funding goes to an area of northern Kenya called Turkana.
Kenya
Turkana in northern Kenya is one of the most arid and inhospitable places on Earth. Temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees, and average rainfall is very low. As the primary location of our partner organisation, MCSPA, it was from the outset and remains today the area of our greatest involvement and the recipient of most of our financial support across all aspects of our funding programme.

Ethiopia
New Ways supports eight nurseries across Ethiopia each of which fills a critical role for the children and families that attend. Education is recognised in the developed world as the single most influential factor that benefits the economic and social wellbeing of a country and its people. This is also the case in Ethiopia. We believe access to education at all levels is key to the empowerment and eventual independence of the communities we support. This includes nursery schools, mother and child classes, health and hygiene education, and the provision of a balanced diet, and includes providing students with meals to improve both their wellbeing and their knowledge about nutrition in the wider community.

Malawi
With a population of 20 million and some 18,000 sq. km., Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, ranked 169 out of 191 on the UN Human Development Index. Over half the population lives in poverty, and one-fifth in extreme poverty. And yet, it is a country with great potential, with its people and the availability of water two of its many assets. We are funding several development projects providing access to a permanent source of clean and safe water. Our partner organisation has drilled and equipped more than 140 wells, providing clean and safe water to more than 50,000 people. Permanent access to potable water reduces the incidence of diseases by providing safe water to drink and better hygiene, improves families’ nutrition by planting and watering fruit trees and vegetables, increases school attendance, especially the number of girl students, and generally, is key to a better quality of life!

South Sudan
South Sudan is the youngest country in Africa. Before independence the country suffered almost half a century of civil wars. As a result, most of the population had to run into exile. After the war, little by little, life returned. People came back from exile, towns and villages were rebuilt, but there is an almost total lack of basic services and a constant threat of violence. What are supposed to be roads in South Sudan are always full of mud which become impassable during rainy season, about 6 months every year. The ratio of medical doctors to patients in the country is one medical doctor for 65,500 patients. This makes it one of the poorest countries of Africa in terms of health cover and our work in health care and education is making a significant difference here.
