Program Details

Past students have explored deep and challenging topics, such as:
• Gender-based violence and the lived experiences of women and girls in rural areas
• The complex realities of HIV & AIDS and why these issues persist, even with available health centers and awareness campaigns

These are not just statistics here. Behind every research question lies a human story. Our work takes place in real communities where people are eager to share, collaborate, and find solutions together. You’ll work side by side with local youth, health workers, women’s groups, and educators to better understand these challenges and help shape positive change.

We invite international volunteers, students, and researchers who are:
• Deeply curious about gender, health, human rights, or climate change
• Open to listening, learning, and immersing themselves in a new culture
• Ready to contribute to something bigger than themselves

Activities & Shift

Whether you’re conducting formal research or simply want to volunteer and learn, your presence here matters. You’ll leave with more than data you’ll leave with stories, relationships, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be part of a global community.

Come to Malawi not just to study come to connect, to grow, and to make a difference.
