  • Anti-malarial medication is strongly suggested 

Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check

  • All participants will require a criminal record check and vulnerable sector check as part of the VOH indemnity form. 

Fit for Travel

  • Travel to Malawi is a strenuous experience. Travel will take 28-35 hours, including a 14-16 hour flight between Toronto and Addis Ababa

  • Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. Depending on the time of year air quality can be very poor (dust / smoke), and the humidity is extremely low.

  • Lilongwe is at 3450ft, so the elevation can impact the perceived strain of activities.  

  • Some planned activities require walking long distances over uneven terrain. And as a passenger in a vehicle, the roads are incredibly rough and uneven.
