Hands of Action
Small-scale irrigation, better farming, and a place for community to gather.

Hands of Action (HOA) is a registered business and community organization in Traditional Authority Kalolo, Lilongwe Rural West. Beyond project delivery, HOA is a gathering place—a building where neighbors meet, small groups organize, and practical skills for farming and local enterprise can take root.
Food and nutrition security remain a challenge in Malawi even where agricultural potential is strong. Smallholder agriculture dominates the sector, contributing about 75 percent of crops and livestock production, yet it is often held back by low and unreliable rainfall, degraded land, limited use of inputs, and limited access to improved technology and markets. Food insecurity is especially severe in arid and semi-arid areas.
HOA has proposed the HOA–Small-Scale Irrigation and Value Addition Project (HOA-SIVAP) as a funding opportunity to raise smallholder productivity and food and nutrition security—while increasing participation of women and youth in agriculture across TA Kalolo.
