Malawi

Malawi is a landlocked country approximately the size of Pennsylvania in southeastern Africa and is bordered by Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. Most of Malawi’s population (85%) live in rural areas engaging in cash-crops and subsistence agriculture. There is widespread, chronic malnutrition, high infant mortality rates and grinding poverty. Efforts to overcome decades of underdevelopment, corruption and the impact of an HIV-AIDS problem, which claims the lives of tens of thousands every year are ongoing.
