“Phineas have been supporting Ripple Africa’s tree planting and forest conservation project since 2017 and it’s something we’re incredibly proud of. The team are amazing at keeping us up to date with how many trees we’ve planted and protected, along with the latest on all their other projects. We really feel a part of the Ripple Africa family!
In 2018 we were lucky enough to visit the team in Malawi and were so impressed with just how true they are to their ethos ‘providing a hand UP not a handout’. Not only is it obvious that the local communities trust Ripple Africa and their projects, but they share their passion and dedication to make them a success. We’re looking forward to our continued work with Ripple Africa and are so excited to see more positive change over the coming months and years.”
Tailored partnerships to achieve your company’s positive impact
By working together we can continue to drive the change we seek in the world and through long-lasting partnerships your company will make a visible impact on our work with the local Malawian communities.
Ripple Africa’s overriding aim is to empower communities in Malawi so they themselves can achieve a sustainable future. We do this through our well-established and successful Environment, Education and Healthcare projects by providing a hand up, not a hand out. This philosophy has been central to the charity’s ideology for nearly two decades.
We provide tailor-made partnerships giving you the freedom and flexibility to achieve your charitable objectives and social responsibility goals.
We use simple, low tech and innovative solutions that are community led, and we firmly believe that with your support we can continue to secure long-term change in Malawi by growing our projects which include forest conservation, tree planting and fish conservation together with pre-school education and the rehabilitation of those with disabilities.
All of our projects are run by our incredible Malawian team who work hand-in-hand with the community. We employ 150 Malawian staff and have more than 8,000 Malawian volunteers working across our projects, all striving for a positive future for themselves, their communities and future generations to come.
As our Corporate Partner, we will provide you with stories and photographs on the benefits and impacts of the project which you can share with your employees and your customers.

Helping you achieve net zero with our quality carbon offsets
Not only can we help your business become carbon negative but by playing your part to address climate change, you help families in Malawi too.
We are proud that more than 250,000 people have their food cooked every day on our Changu Changu Moto fuel-efficient cookstove. This saves 80,000 bundles of wood every week. This new cooking technology is becoming a way of life and now communities in neighbouring Districts want to benefit from this improved cooking method which makes their lives easier and reduces deforestation.
Ripple Africa’s founders didn’t start the project just to sell carbon offsets but wanted to improve the lives of local people in Malawi and protect the remaining forests. We reinvest the income from the sale of our carbon offsets to build more cookstoves, plant trees and conserve existing forests.
It really is a win-win for people and the planet, and we provide you with regular stories about how you as a company make a positive difference through our carbon offsetting project.
