It is not long ago DMI started work in Malawi. It happened in 2015. The business here called Deaf Action Malawi (DAM). We attach much importance to make people familiar with the Gods word, especially to equip and train the deaf to be pastors and evangelists in DAM churches in Malawi. We conduct Bible studies in deaf churches that deaf people can get a basic understanding of the biblical message.
DAM coach many deaf in different areas: in sign language (many have never attended school or learned sign language in Malawi), in carpentry, in local building trades, in sewing. It also operates some computer training. The aim is to help the deaf to most independence.
