Event Description

Join us for Miles for Malawi, a run/walk event benefiting Pamoza International's work in rural Malawi. 

The communities Pamoza serves have no running water, no electricity, and very few basic resources. Out of the 32,000 people in Pamoza's service area, fewer than 5 families have a car. That means nearly everyone walks. 

Miles for Malawi is an amazing opportunity to support programs that help families in rural Malawi get easier access to the services they need. 

Consider the average one-way distances someone in rural Malawi walks:

  • 1 mile to the nearest borehole (water well) 
  • 2 miles to the nearest church 
  • 4 miles to the nearest high school 
  • 6 miles to the nearest rural hospital
