About Malawi

As detailed by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), The National Minister of Public Works has vowed to help the Federation access land for every member adhering to SDI rituals. The Malawi Federation is supported by Centre for Community Organisation and Development (CCODE), based in Lilongwe.
