Our Projects
Our mission is to assist the underprivileged communities in Malawi by implementing various initiatives such as educating
orphan girls, empowering livelihoods through livestock distribution (particularly goats), supporting women's
economic empowerment by raising cattle for milk, implementing small-scale irrigation, and providing social welfare
programs to vulnerable communities.
We also carry out activities such as distributing food during Ramadan and distributing Qurbanie meat,
constructing rural masjids, and providing clean and safe water.

Construction of Masaajid and Madrasah
World association friends of Africa took a step to help the Muslims by constructing masjid as well as madrassa classroom for them.
Early childhood development centres (Nursery Schools)
The Nursery school project intends to help children from eastern and southern region of Malawi, most nursery schools around the region are of Christian based and that exposes children from Muslim families to pagan teachings at their tender age.
Besides that, most Muslim families around the region cannot afford to pay the school fees for their children in those nursery schools.
The Nursery school objectives are based on caring, educating and empowering orphans and children from poor families for a better future, hence increasing social and economic developments. The Nursery school will also offer Islamic teachings and help children have a good upbringing to help them in this world and hereafter.
Funeral Parlour
WAFA understands the social and economic challenges many people face, especially during
funerals. Death often comes unexpectedly, and handling logistics and burial arrangements can
be difficult.
To support the community, WAFA established a Funeral Parlour in the Eastern region of the
country, providing free Islamic funeral services since its official opening in September 2020.
Services Offered:
- Ghusl-E-Mayyit(bathing) and shrouding of the deceased.
- Free transportation from the hospital to the facility and then to their respective homes for burial.
- Provision of Kaffan (white shrouding cloth).
This service has been a great support to the Muslim community, ensuring that the deceased
receive a proper Islamic burial while easing the burden on bereaved families.
Impact:
As of 2023, a total of 203 families benefited. However, in 2024 alone, 78 deceased individuals
were served, reflecting a 39.3% increase compared to 2023, when 56 deceased individuals were
served.
-Out of the 78 deceased in 2024:
-44 were males (56.4%), and 34 were females (43.6%).
– Only 3 of the males were children aged between 2 to 13 years.
WAFA remains committed to serving humanity by ensuring dignity and respect in burial services,
free of charge.
