DeGrowth, Ecological Overshoot, Family Planning & Climate Change Campaign

Hope Ministries International (HOMI) with funding support from Poems For Parliament – PFP, is doing a campaign on DE growth, Family planning and Climate Change. HOMI is implementing this Campaign project alongside with its local Community Based Organizations currently in three districts of Malawi and expected to roll out the campaign in other districts soon. 
The project is targeting five districts of Malawi (Lilongwe, Zomba, Dowa, Chitipa and Karonga) where impacts of climate change are also heavily felt as a result of land degradation; and that the rapid population growth has increasingly contributed to the ecosystems damage in the areas.  
 
Hope Ministries international is geared to roll out the Degrowth Campaigns in all the districts where it is also directly working with local based organizations as follows; 
✓ Zomba in the eastern region of Malawi where there’s Namajoka Community based organization in Namadidi respectively. 
✓ Lilongwe district in the central region in Malingunde.  
✓ Dowa district in the central region where there’s Navikoka Community based organisation in Nalunga 
✓ Karonga district in northern region where there’s SOBA Youth club in Iponga 
✓ Chitipa district in the northern region where there’s Witimba Community Cooperative in Lufita.

The campaign focuses on:
