Our Mission & Values
New Ways for Africa is a charity dedicated to transforming the lives of some of the world’s poorest people.
Since 2016 New Ways for Africa has supported development work in Africa, particularly basic nutrition, healthcare, agriculture, water infrastructure and education. The charity was set up by MCSPA and like-minded friends, a community living and working in three African countries, predominantly Malawi, the Nyangtom region of Ethiopia, and the Turkana region in Northern Kenya.
In the USA we:
- Organize and support fundraising activities
- Raise funds through applications to grant making bodies
- Build relationships with, and understanding of, the communities with whom we work.
Since our launch we have been funding projects in all three countries.
We make great efforts to keep our administration costs low (our aim is to keep these below 2%). All of the money raised through our fundraising events or through other donations goes directly to project work with the directors supporting the admin costs.
The beneficiaries of the projects that we support come from a wide range of faiths and backgrounds and in this we are completely non-denominational. Most of our funding goes to our main overseas partner organisation the Missionary Community of St Paul the Apostle (MCSPA) a Catholic community *headquartered* in northern Kenya – this does not affect our aim to help reduce poverty regardless of the race, religion or politics of those in need.
