ASFL Outreach in Malawi

Working to achieve its vision to have a Malawi where the students, and the youths in general are liberated and are taking necessary steps to advance liberty, African Students For Liberty in Malawi conducted a liberty awareness campaign at the University of Malawi, the Polytechnic on Saturday 21 February.

The main goal of the event was to raise awareness of liberty at the institution and also to establish a libertarian student club at the university. The Polytechnic students were encouraged to take a lead as young leaders in ensuring that we have a liberated nation where its people are able to enjoy individual freedom through the ideas of liberty.

The response from the students was overwhelming, considering the program held on a Saturday, when many students are not on campus, and the short period of time that the program was advertised for.
About 20 students who came to the event discussed about the principles that make for a free society. A student libertarian group was started and an interim committee to lead the group was formed. Students For Liberty T-shirts were distributed to some of the participants.

African Students For Liberty plans to conduct more outreach activities in Malawi to make sure that the youths in general are at liberty to partake in socio-economic and political development pursuits and in line with one of its objective of liberating the young especially tertiary students to be agents of change in society.
