About the Association

Mission

The Malawi U.S. Alumni Association (MUSEAA) was established in September 2005 with support from the Alumni Affairs Division in the State Department Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs (ECA).   The Association aims to provide a forum for internal and external networking among all exchange alumni while contributing to matters of national development using lessons learned from United States exchange programs.  The Association is committed to promote networking among U.S exchange alumni both within and outside Malawi, and within different professionals; to contribute to Malawi’s social and economic development; and to build lifelong relationships among members.

--Create networking opportunities for United States exchange alumni nationally, regionally, and globally.

--Share experiences from United States exchange programs with Malawian audiences to promote mutual understanding.

--Strive to make maximum use of knowledge and skills derived from exchange programs to promote development in Malawi and the region.

--Develop and maintain lasting relationships with the United States of America Mission and larger American community in Malawi.
