Pa Bawo
About Pa Bawo
A five-year men's wellbeing and empowerment project for Malawi, launching on International Men's Day, 19 November 2026, in Blantyre.
Pa Bawo is named after the bawo board, where Malawian men have always gathered to think, talk and settle matters. Pothera Nkhani means "where matters are settled".
What we do
- Town Hall talk shows: live shows with an audience of men, filmed and broadcast.
- WhatsApp groups and circles: daily brotherhood by district and life stage.
- Grow sessions: confidence, money, leading at home, fatherhood, habits and work.
- Faith guidance: pastors and sheikhs, in person and online.
- Counselling: free, private support and a clear crisis path.
- This platform: a private space with tools, challenges and Kondwani, our AI companion.
Our promise
We build men up, never by putting women down. Success is when wives say: "Since my husband joined Pa Bawo, I have seen him become a changed man."
