Walking Together - Malawi

 

Malawi is a landlocked country in southern Africa and covers an area of 45,700 square miles. It is bordered by Tanzania to the north, Mozambique to the east and south, and Zambia to the west. On the east side of the country is one of the deepest lakes in the world, Lake Malawi. It is the third largest fresh water lake in Africa. The land of Malawi rises to more than 8,000 feet in the Nyida Plateau, and is rich in animal life. Several game parks protect antelope, elephants, hippopotamuses, lions, and zebras. The economy is largely based on agriculture. Malawi has some of the most fertile soil in South-Central Africa so maize (corn), potatoes, peanuts, cassava, and plantains are grown. They are able to export tung for oil, sunflower seeds, cotton, tea, tobacco, and peanuts.
