2026 Malawi Vision Trip

Vision Trip to Malawi

August 30 – September 10, 2026

Discerning Where God Is Leading Us Next

From August 30–September 10, Executive Director Temwa Wright and board members Holton Falk and Chris Falk travelled to Malawi for a special Vision Trip.

Together, we met with families, staff, community leaders, and Advisory Board members, visited programs, and listened closely to the needs and hopes of those we serve. Our goal was simple: to discern where God is leading Pamoza next. Thank you for praying with us.

This year’s Vision Trip team: Executive Director Temwa Wright and board members Holton Falk and Chris Falk.

Pamoza International is a Christian nonprofit working in rural Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. Pamoza means “together” – a value that drives everything we do. As our tagline reminds us, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go pamoza.” Thank you for going pamoza with us through prayer.
