Who We Are

Friends Of Malawi (FOM) was formed by returned Peace Corps Volunteers in 1987. Over the years FOM has grown by reaching out to all individuals interested in learning about Malawi and helping the people of Malawi .

FOM members have been instrumental in initiating and implementing several long-lived projects. These include the Malawi Book Project, the AIDS Task Force, and the Malawi Children's Village. FOM has also actively provided grants for schools, libraries, health clinics, HIV/AIDS awareness, and sustainable agricultural projects. Over the years FOM membership dues and special contributions have made possible over $65,000 in small grants to many volunteers and Malawian NGOs.
