Tafika is a Malawian organization and we try to find ways to generate funds locally to reduce the dependency on donors. 

 

We have a number of Income Generating Activities (IGAs) which sustains the running of the projects.

 

These IGAs include the following:

 

1. PLANTING A COMMERCIAL  FOREST & TOMATO GREENHOUSES

 

We have completed a commercial forest project (May 2022) which, in 13 years time will generate the money we need to become self sufficient. You can read about it here.

​

Our forest project has now been written about in a South African publication - you can read the article here. It has also been written about in Scottish Forestry Magazine and you can read that article here.

​

2. BECOMING A LANDLORD

 In June 2022 we started a project to build a Student Hostel. The hostel is now open for business. This is a commercial venture which should see us generate cash to fill the gap between now and the Commercial Forest Project revenue stream. 

​

3. MILLING MAIZE

​

Running a maize mill (at below markets costs) for our community members.

​

4. EGG PRODUCTION

​

Hatching eggs using a donated incubator for sale in Malawi.

 

We are always on the look out for new ideas as we want to be able to fund our activities in a sustainable way. Please contact us if you have any good ideas for sustainable income generation.
