We’ve heard recently of Malawi’s inspiring plastic bag ban win and their incredible work harnessing people power for environmental change.

What’s next for Renew Our World in this country fondly called the warm heart of Africa?

Read the hopes and prayers of activist and ecology lecturer, Dr Tiwonge Mzumara-Gawa, and National Coordinator for the Malawi Creation Care Network, Charles Bakolo.

How Malawi is building a movement

Just last year, Malawians across the country celebrated a decisive, nationwide ban on plastic bags. 

This win did not come easily. In the face of a long and arduous court battle against powerful plastic manufacturers, organisations from all different spheres of society came together to champion the government’s thin plastics ban.

The Malawi Creation Care Network, a collaboration of Christian individuals and organisations and the leader of the Renew Our World campaign in Malawi, played a vital role in securing this ban. 

Charles Bakolo is the National Coordinator for the Malawi Creation Care Network and one of the lead organisers of a series of marches that called on the courts to rule against all thin plastic manufacture, import, distribution and use in Malawi. 

An inspiring man with a clear vision, Charles shares how he and the Malawi Creation Care Network are building a powerful movement of people for environmental change. 

Malawi’s plastic bag win

Our world has a rubbish problem, and it’s hitting people living in poverty the hardest. That’s why we’re running the Rubbish Campaign to tackle plastic pollution before it’s too late.

Tens of thousands of people from across the world have already signed the Rubbish Campaign petition, made lifestyle changes to reduce their plastic use, and used their collective voices to advocate for systemic change.

Over the past two years, passionate Malawians have taken to the streets across the country to call for a plastic bag ban. This is their captivating story, told through the eyes of Christian, activist, and ecology lecturer, Dr Tiwonge Mzumara-Gawa.
