Satemwa
Satemwa Tea Estates is a small family owned tea estate in the Shire Highlands in Malawi. Satemwa Tea Estates was founded by Maclean Kay in 1923. Satemwa produces a range of pesticide free high quality teas and is certified by Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ. On top of that Satemwa is a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership. Around 95% of the tea produced on Satemwa is black CTC tea – an average of 2.500 tons is produced each year. In March 2019 they started to produce the first commercial Green CTC in Malawi.
Evironment is one of the issues that top the agenda of Satemwa’s CSR (Corporate and Social Responsibility) program and deforestation has long reached crisis point in Southern Malawi. Other than regular tree planting on Satemwa, they have a program aimed at training workers and members of the community on the use of stoves that use less firewood. The technology was originally developed by a GTZ funded project called PROBEC who have trained Satemwa’s workers in how to construct fuel efficient water heaters, estate catering size stoves into all workers housing.
As part of Satemwa’s social responsibility program, they provide a number of welfare services, which are available to both staff and their immediate dependants.
The Satemwa Clinic is under the able hands of Mr. Phiri (Clinical Officer) and continues to provide professional medical services to all employees, and their immediate families and to all students at the Satemwa Primary School. The Satemwa Primary School seats +/- 900 pupils. Education is provided in partnership with the government who provide the teachers, learning materials and curriculum, whilst Satemwa provides land, buildings and other structural needs such as teachers housing. This year, Satemwa sent 19 pupils to various secondary schools.
With Schools for Malawi, we sell Satemwa tea (White Hibiscus Passion & Peach, Green Mint, Earl Grey, Black & White) and Satemwa Iced Tea (Cling Peach, Hibiscus & Vanilla, Light Lemon, Mint & Lime) during our activities.

Malawi Kinderhilfe Pforzheim
Malawi Kinderhilfe Pforzheim (MKP) was founded in the same manner as Schools for Malawi. Karen, the chairwoman of MKP, was also a volunteer in the pre-school project of Chilangoma. Our chairman, Tim, was a volunteer in 2016 and Karen in 2017. When Karen returned from Malawi, she could not let go of the project. She wanted to support the schools anyway possible. And so Malawi Kinderhilfe Pforzheim was born.
Karen was the first volunteer, that received donations from Schools for Malawi.
