Program Details

Our Agricultural Volunteer program invites you to work alongside local farmers and community members to support sustainable agriculture and food security in northern Malawi. Through hands-on farming activities, volunteers help cultivate crops, maintain gardens, and learn traditional and eco-friendly farming techniques.

This program is not only about farming—it’s an opportunity to connect with the land and the people who depend on it, gaining insight into rural life and the importance of agriculture in building strong communities. Volunteers will experience the rhythms of the farming season, contribute to meaningful projects, and help promote environmental care.
