The objects of 'The Friends' are: 

1. to help prevent and relieve poverty in northern Malawi, particularly in the Engcongolweni area; particularly, but not exclusively, by targeting the health and education sectors;
2. to support community projects and organisations in Engcongolweni;
3. to develop and foster links between the communities and organisations of Dalgety Bay and Engcongolweni and to encourage learning about each other's countries, heritage and cultures.
