how Scouting in Malaŵi is growing and encouraged the leadership to work hard and reach out to more young people in Malaŵi. Kafansiyanji said the donation would go a long way to assist the local association, especially in view of the challenges facing young people in the areas of education, health, environment and youth involvement in decision making. The African Regional Office gave the necessary support to ensure that Malaŵi qualified for recognition by the World Organization of the Scout Movement.
