The Gift of the Givers Malawi office was started in December 2005 with a staff complement of five people. The scope and reach of the Malawi operation has grown steadily and today, 10 staff members run a number of projects throughout the country (see project list below).
Their major projects include:
- Development of an area known as Domasi situated in Malawi's old capital, Zomba.
- Annual distribution of farm inputs to needy farmers (see distribution list below).
- Drilling and rigging of boreholes (see list below).
- Distribution of blankets and jerseys in winter; new shoes, food packs, nutritional supplements and other foodstuffs.
- Feeding schemes.
- Provision of bursaries/educational support to needy students.
- Supporting the media fraternity with yearly awards as an encouragement towards responsible journalism.
- Supporting Government's efforts in the health sector with the deployment of mobile clinics, as well as the provision of medicines and bicycle ambulances.

Ambulance and Shoe Handover |
Gift of the Givers had the priviledge of donating 5 597 pairs of new shoes, 2 400 jars of Sibusiso Ready Food, as well as 1 Toyota Motor Vehicle Ambulance to the Department of Nutrition, HIV/AIDS in the Office of the President and Cabinet. All to the value of R1.5 million.
The handover ceremony took place in the presence of Right Honourable Mrs Joyce Banda, Vice President of Malawi, Dr Mary Shawa, Principal Secretary responsible for Nutrition, HIV/AIDS.
Through this donation of shoes, we wish to reach out and restore dignity to its recipients. With the Sibusiso Ready Food we aim to combat malnutrition, which is known as a global "silent killer", enabling the recipients to maintain a good quality lifestyle. We also recognise that easy mobility of patients to Medical Centres is of paramount importance to society, hence we supported Government's effort by donating an ambulance toward the health sector.
