Spreading Happiness in Malawi
The country of Malawi in Southeastern Africa is among the poorest countries in the world. Challenges such as flooding and export limitations, combined with a rapidly growing population, have spurred corruption in businesses, as well as forced childhood marriages as families struggle to support their children.
Reverend Father Louis Majeza is from one such family. Born seventh of eight children, he and his family experienced firsthand the difficulty in coping with day-to-day survival, sometimes only able to afford one meal a day.
With the help of sponsors, young Majeza was able to pay his school fees and continue his education—an act of kindness that shaped his life, fueling his determination to help others. But what he needed most were tools. That’s where The Way to Happiness came in.
After being introduced to TWTH, Rev. Majeza immediately completed the online course and saw this as the help he needed to change his country with the 21 precepts of the booklet.
Rev. Majeza set about forming teams to spread the message of TWTH to schools, prisons and businesses, bringing hope and common-sense guidelines for better living.
“I don’t like seeing people suffering around my area. If I have something to help, I don’t hesitate to give a hand. I didn’t know that today it can be called The Way to Happiness,” shares Rev. Majeza.

I would like to do so, as I want to inspire and convince many of my fellows around me and also raise their awareness.”
