Challenged by Malawians.

Called by God.

Our Mission

Malawi Matters is dedicated to raising awareness about the high risk of HIV and AIDS among young women and girls in Malawi. We work to address this urgent challenge through development and facilitation programs that are designed within the rich cultural context of the country.

By uniting communities, schools, congregations, agencies, and organizations, we create a network of shared responsibility and hope. Our approach emphasizes hands-on training that uses creative, culturally appropriate methods so that important lessons can be taught, understood, and remembered.

We believe that when Malawian youth and adults are equipped with knowledge and practical skills, they are empowered to find their own solutions to the HIV and AIDS crisis. Beyond health, this empowerment strengthens families, nurtures future leaders, and enhances the overall quality of life in a nation known for its deep spiritual richness and resilience.
