Celebrating Malawi’s warm rural life
We are a thriving village working on the cultural, social and economic transformation of Malawi’s rural life. We want to welcome you to our homestead and invite you to participate in diverse activities.
Takulandirani!In Chingalire, we nurture Malawian rural culture, contribute to the sustainable development of local communities, and give everyone the chance to experience the rural lifestyle.
With these purposes, the village hosts different activities where locals and visitors can teach and learn from others and celebrate Malawi's warm rural life together.
The RURAL GROWTH CENTRE focuses on organising activities for rural development, such as waste-management workshops, bamboo construction training, a tree nursery and a kindergarten. Complementary, the HOME STAY hosts cultural and entertainment events for all and offers overnight stays for up to 80 people.
