Organized by

Scotland Malawi Partnership

We exist to help coordinate, represent and support the many people-to-people and community-to-community links between Scotland and Malawi. We are an independent, politically-neutral charity core funded by successive Scottish Governments.

 Scotland's links with Malawi date back to 1859 and the travels of Scottish explorer Dr David Livingstone.

 Today, more than 94,000 Scots and 198,000 Malawians are actively involved in community-led partnerships between our two nations.

 44.5% of Scots -almost half the country- can name a friend or family member with a connection to Malawi, making this one of the world's strongest north-south people-to-people links.
