Power through knowledge...

Expand is a new UK organisation that has been set up to help relieve poverty in some of the world's poorest countries by focusing on education and providing resources of all kinds to help give people more opportunities in life.


We are now officially registered with HMRC (number XT19964) and can now start fundraising for our projects as well as receive Gift Aid. We are finalising our charity status at the moment and hope to be officially registered in the next month or two.

Our first country of operation will be Malawi, in Southern Africa.

The project is now under the auspices of Expand and will be the focus of new and fun schemes in the area; from building a sports centre to more houses for volunteers and teachers.

Please see www.buildmalawi.org and our Projects page for more information.

We have some big donors already dedicated to this project, but we need some more adventure seeking individuals on board, either to help fundraise in the UK or come and help out here in Malawi.

Please feel free to contact project Manager Tanya Clarke, with any ideas you may have for future projects, to establish links and partnerships with Expand or even to join in the fun in Malawi.

We look forward to a prosperous 2010!
