Our Story &
What Drives Us

Ekwendeni Women Dawa Organisation was born from a simple but powerful belief: when women thrive, entire communities flourish. Founded in 2019 in Ekwendeni, we set out to address the social, economic, and health challenges facing women and girls in Northern Malawi.

Through partnerships with local and international organisations, EWDO delivers programs that transform lives — from educational workshops and health campaigns to GBV support and entrepreneurship mentorship.

Education is Liberation

Every girl deserves access to knowledge that opens doors to a better future.

Safety is Non-Negotiable

We stand firmly against gender-based violence and advocate for every woman's right to safety.

Community is Power

Sustainable change happens when communities lead their own transformation.

The training I received through EWDO gave me the confidence and skills to start my own small business. Today I provide for my family and help other women in my village do the same.
