Malawian investment holding company
Backing the builders of Malawi’s growth.
We raise capital and invest it in medium- and large-scale businesses across the sectors central to Malawi’s growth — and we work alongside the people who run them.
Dziko · land, country, world
Malawi held within the world, and the world within Malawi’s reach.
In Chichewa, dziko means land, country or world. For us it means all three. We are hands-on investors: we build and back companies, partner with experienced operators, and stay close to the operation.
How we invest
Three pillars.
Capital with purpose
We raise capital and direct it to medium- and large-scale businesses in the sectors central to Malawi’s growth.
Hands-on partnership
We build and back companies, partner with experienced operators and work alongside management.
Local production, global reach
We favour enterprises that produce locally what Malawi imports, earn foreign exchange and create lasting jobs.
What we invest in
Five sectors central to Malawi’s growth.
Processing more of what we grow, here.
Making locally what Malawi imports today.
Responsible extraction, more value kept at home.
Reliable power, the precondition for growth.
Moving goods faster and cheaper.
Why it matters
Every investment is measured against three outcomes.
Import substitution
Producing locally what Malawi currently buys from abroad.
Foreign exchange
Businesses that earn hard currency through exports and regional trade.
Lasting jobs
Enterprises that create durable, skilled employment for Malawians.
Insights
Latest thinking.
Every product made at home instead of imported is a small vote for a stronger economy.
A seat at the table, a phone that answers, and a long view of the business.
Malawi grows a great deal. Too much of it leaves before value is added.
