Friends of Malawi (FOM) was founded in 1987 by returned Peace Corps Volunteers who had served in Malawi. Our purpose is to promote cross-cultural understanding between Malawians and FOM supporters and to provide small grants for worthy projects in Malawi.

Participation is open to all RPCV’s, PCV’s, international volunteers and others with an interest in FOM’s vision and mission. FOM currently has more than 800 supporters throughout the world, including:

·         current and returned Peace Corps volunteers and their families

·         Peace Corps staff

·         former Volunteer Service Overseas volunteers (VSOs)

·         former Canadian University Service Overseas volunteers (USOs)

·         UN volunteers

·         USAID and US Embassy staff

·         Malawians and other people interested in Malawi

Friends of Malawi (FOM), is a registered, 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization based in the United States. Our organization is affiliated with the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) and is led by a volunteer Board of Directors who manage routine operations and outreach. FOM is neither political nor partisan. Tax-deductible donations are much appreciated and are used to implement FOM programs and grants.
