This Labour Day, the Association of Environmental Journalists (AEJ) in Malawi celebrates the dedicated professionals who work tirelessly at the intersection of labor and nature.

​Environmental journalism is more than a profession; it is a service to our nation’s future. From the rugged terrains of our forest reserves to the frontlines of climate-driven disasters, our members labor to ensure that the stories of our ecosystem—and the people who protect it—are told with accuracy, passion, and integrity.

​Today, we recognize:
​The Field Journalists: Who navigate challenging environments to bring climate truths to the public.
​The Content Creators: Who simplify complex ecological data into actionable knowledge for our communities.
​The Advocates: Who use their pens and lenses to demand environmental justice and sustainable labor practices.

​As we commemorate the spirit of hard work that builds Malawi, we reaffirm our commitment to "Green Journalism." We believe that a prosperous workforce can only thrive in a healthy, protected environment.

​To all environmental storytellers across the warm heart of Africa: Your labor is the seed of a sustainable tomorrow.
​Happy Labour Day!

“The adopted varieties could not withstand prolonged dry spells. Unlike the local varieties we used to grow, the new ones yielded too little and proved vulnerable to climate shocks,” says Emily Sanjira, a farmer in Malawi.

WASH Media Forum Leads Sanitation Drive at Bwaila Hospital

​Members of the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Media Forum on Friday swapped their notebooks for mops and brooms, conducting a comprehensive cleanup exercise at Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe.

​The initiative, led by Forum Treasurer General Bridgette Mwanoka and Executive Member Patrick Kachere, serves as a direct intervention to safeguard public health. By maintaining a clean environment, the forum aims to break the transmission cycle of preventable waterborne and sanitation-related diseases.

​"This activity goes beyond just sweeping," Mwanoka noted. "Our focus on waste collection and the disinfection of high-contact areas is a targeted effort to improve hospital sanitation and prevent the spread of infections such as sepsis, cholera, and diarrheal diseases."

​The exercise was made possible through the support of WaterAid Malawi and CTS Group of Companies, who donated essential sanitation supplies including buckets, mops, and sanitizers to the facility.

​Bwaila Hospital’s Principal Health Promotion Officer, Richard Mvula, described the initiative as timely, noting that such partnerships are vital for maintaining hygiene standards in busy public health centers.

This cleanup follows similar successful interventions recently conducted by the forum at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre and Mzuzu Central Hospital.

​Highlighting the private sector’s role in environmental health, CTS General Manager Joseph Manda reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting government facilities.

"Improving hygiene standards is a collective responsibility, and we are proud to support efforts that protect both the facility and the patients it serves," Manda said.

For the women of the Catholic Women Association (CWA) in the Blantyre Archdiocese, the spiritual call to protect the earth is no longer just a passage in a prayer book—it is a hands-on mission.

​In a vibrant three-day workshop held at Our Lady of Namulenga High School in Mulanje, the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations (WUCWO) brought the visionary message of Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’ to life. The gathering was more than a meeting; it was a strategic training ground for environmental stewardship.

​Under the looming peaks of Mulanje, participants moved beyond theory. The workshop focused on the practical realities of climate change and the urgent need for sustainable living. By equipping these women with leadership skills and ecological knowledge, WUCWO is ensuring that the message of "care for our common home" translates into greener villages and more resilient households.

​The conference focused on a theme "From Prayer to Action." The women engaged in sessions designed to transform them into environmental advocates within their parishes. From waste management to sustainable farming and conservation, the skills learned are meant to ripple outward, influencing families across the Archdiocese.

The conference will bring together government institutions, private sector players, academia, civil society, youth organizations, and community leaders to tackle Malawi’s growing waste management challenges.

With only about 30% of waste collected and nearly 70% improperly disposed, Malawi faces serious environmental and public health risks. This dialogue will provide a platform to explore innovative, practical, and sustainable solutions—including waste-to-energy, recycling, and circular economy approaches.
