Membership of the Scotland Malawi Partnership is open to anyone based in Scotland who has a link with, or interest in, Malawi.

Anyone can join - churches, schools, hospitals, NGOs, businesses, politicians, the diaspora, individuals, community groups & young people.

All we ask is that you agree to our core values and principles and are based, or work, in Scotland.
