University of Lilongwe

We are proud to have had some of our University of Lilongwe staff in attendance at the U.S. Embassy Lilongwe American Center Malawi’s 50-year celebration 🇺🇸🇲🇼

In solidarity and partnership, we celebrate a space that has continuously opened doors for our students through impactful programmes.

Here’s to continued collaboration and opportunity.

Today, we proudly commemorated World Social Work Day 2026. Under the theme:
“Building Hope and Harmony Together: Working Hand in Hand with Families and Communities for a Better Future,”

The event brought together social work students from DMI-St John The Baptist University Lilongwe Campus and Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources alongside representatives from the Association of Social Workers in Malawi - ASWiM. From the solidarity March to engaging performances on the life and impact of social workers, today was a true celebration of dedication, compassion and service.

We were honored by the presence of the Guest of Honor, Director of Social Welfare whose remarks underscored the critical role of social work in national development, as well as the University of Lilongwe President, Executive Dean, Heads of Department, and various media houses.

It was a powerful celebration of unity, impact, and the vital role social workers play in our communities.
