Between 2003 and 2007 Nyumba Ya Thanzi worked with a Malawian partner organisation - The Malawian Child run by Peter Mawanga, afro-vibes artist, Justin Malawezi, artist and graphic designer, and Moses, university student studying education. Nyumba's first project was to fund the building of a community centre in Njewa to be used for activities in the village. The centre is thriving to this day.
