Peace Corps Malawi

Muyende bwino CHE26! Travel safely - we can’t wait to meet you.

It’s another great day as Health Volunteer Remy and her counterpart Vincent use a Volunteer Activity Support and Training (VAST) grant to launch a “Pig Pass-On Project” 🐖✨.

This initiative will create an avenue for stable income generation and boost social inclusion among the members of their community. It was pure joy watching the first recipients receive their pigs, and we’re excited for the sustainable impact this project will bring!

What an inspiring day of community innovation!
Environment Volunteer Soren and his counterpart Geoffrey Mbale joined a nearby village to demonstrate how to build a fuel-efficient brick stove. With Geoffrey’s support in mobilizing the community and gathering materials, they trained 86 residents to construct stoves that save time and money, reduce smoke exposure, and help protect local forests. A great example of community-driven learning and sustainable innovation.

Peace Corps Malawi staff is working hard to prepare for our incoming cohort. Just one month to go!

During Pre-Service Training, Peace Corps Trainees live with a host family that helps them learn all about day-to-day life in Malawi. Our training staff did a cooking demonstration with the host families in preparation for the new cohort arriving in June.

Last month, volunteers and staff gathered together to paint Peace Rocks and talk about the impact of service. Our Language and Culture Coordinator Danitta wrote a poem to commemorate the day.
