Please note that the trip dates may vary a day either way due to flight availability.
Supporting Education in Salima, Malawi
Mission Direct is delighted to continue its partnership with Starfish Malawi, supporting the ongoing development of Trinity School in the Salima region. Together, we are helping to create opportunities for children to access education in an environment that is safe, welcoming and equipped for learning.
In 2027, teams will contribute towards the construction of additional classrooms at Trinity School, helping to meet growing demand and ensure more children can benefit from education. These new learning spaces will support the school’s long-term vision and provide improved facilities for both students and teachers.
Alongside the practical work, team members will spend time with the school community, building relationships with staff and pupils and gaining a deeper understanding of daily life in rural Malawi. Working in partnership with Starfish Malawi, the focus remains on supporting locally-led education initiatives that are already making a real and lasting difference.
This is about investing in children’s futures, strengthening communities and helping education to take root in a way that lasts.
In addition to a mid weekend visit to the stunning Lake Malawi, the trip ends with a visit to Kuti Wildlife Reserve that will enable you to see a wide range of animals in their natural habitat.
However, we do not recommend any swimming in Lake Malawi because of the risk of Bilharzia disease.
The teams in Malawi Salima have been doing an incredible job. Here are a few of the most recent stories and stats from the projects...
