MALAWI
Since its establishment in 2016, 303 Volunteers have completed service and joined the CorpsAfrica/Malawi Alumni network, contributing their skills, leadership and commitment to communities across the country.
Nicknamed the “warm heart of Africa” due to the friendliness and hospitality of its people, Malawi has remained a popular destination for CorpsAfrica’s Exchange Volunteers, seeking to serve for an additional year in another CorpsAfrica country. 43 Exchange Volunteers from Morocco, Senegal, Rwanda, Kenya, The Gambia, and Ghana have served in Malawi, strengthening cross-cultural learning and collaboration among Volunteers and host communities.
To date, 264 community-led projects have been implemented across 9 cohorts. These projects have responded to locally identified priorities in economic empowerment, agriculture, infrastructure, transport and communication, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education, health, and youth and sports. From improving access to essential services and strengthening livelihoods to creating job opportunities for young people and supporting community infrastructure, each initiative reflects CorpsAfrica’s approach of placing local ownership at the centre of development.

Volunteer in Malawi
CorpsAfrica recruits ambitious young people to apply their education, build their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and learn more about their countries and about themselves. They facilitate small-scale, high-impact projects identified by local community members, to fulfill key needs.

Support Our Work
CorpsAfrica addresses two of Africa’s most difficult challenges: creating opportunities for youth and helping rural communities overcome extreme poverty and build resilience. We recruit motivated volunteers to live and work in remote, low-income areas in their own countries. They collaborate with the community to design and implement small-scale projects that address their top priorities and by doing so gain the skills and experience that lay the foundation for personal and professional success.
CorpsAfrica trusts youth and rural communities to help each other.
