Use the form on this page to apply for tools for
Malawi
To apply for support complete the online application form
To be eligible for TWAM assistance, you must be a registered charity or NGO. Please have a scanned copy (PDF or JPEG) of your Registration Certificate, Trust Deed or equivalent ready to upload before you apply online. If you are applying on behalf of a School, please send a scanned copy of the Certificate of Registration from the Ministry of Education.
You are also required to download and complete a charitable status self-declaration form BEFORE starting the online tool application. The PDF can be completed without printing and then uploaded when asked during the application process. Please click the image below to download the editable PDF.
To apply for tools please follow all three stages
Stage 1: Download the PDF below by clicking on PDF or here
Stage 2: Complete PDF and save as you will need to upload it in stage three
Stage 3: Click the button below to continue your tool application
We do ask that you contribute towards the cost of preparing your tools, so please think about this when applying. We do not charge for specific tools or tool kits, but we do ask that you contribute a small amount towards the UK cost of collecting, refurbishing and packing the tools we send to Africa.
The Online Application form above will show you the cost of the tools you are applying for. Before completing your application, please think about the cost and whether you can afford it. If you cannot, please reduce the number of tools you are applying for at this time to a cost you can afford. You can apply again another time for more tools. By applying for less tools rather than waiting to raise a larger amount, you will not have to wait so long for the delivery of the tools you need.

Where to collect your tools
Living Way Education is our partner in Malawi. They will receive the container from TWAM when it arrives, contact you when your tools are ready for collection and store them until you collect them.
There will be no charge for collecting your tools, but a storage charge may apply if you do not collect your tools within six weeks of them contacting you.
You may contact Yunusu Banda, Director of Living Way Education, our representative, by email on lwe@twam.uk
You will be able to collect your tools from their centre, which is located at:
Along Lake Malawi, off the M5 Main road to and from Blantyre to Salima, Chipoka
Only apply for tools or answer emails that end in twam.uk, any other email is NOT FROM TWAM, and they may be trying to extort money from you.
