Title: Providence Industrial Mission Thabwa church
Description: The Providence Industrial Mission is of major significance to the
history of Malawi as it was the source for the 1915 rising against the
British colonial government, an event that made its founder, John
Chilembwe, a national hero to this day. The church, based in
Mbombwe, Chiradzulu, had much support under disgruntled estate
workers. It is not surprising then that it had an early following
around Mulanje (Makondesa 2006). Before 1915 it already had many churches around Migowi, north of Michesi. South of Mulanje
Mountain its centre became located at Thabwa, north of Mulanje
Mission Hospital. LOCATION - Ask at Mt Mulanje Conservation Trust offices.
