Is there any free program on the internet that I could type a letter to them in English that would translate it to Chichewa so I could print it off and mail it to them? Thanks!

About Malawi, you may wish to know that the country is getting connected to the Internet at a very fast pace. In fact, more than 10% of my monthly traffic comes from Malawi. The other point is that apart from folks who are learning English, this dictionary will come in handy even for those who just want to look up the meaning of particular words in either English or Chichewa. @Mattwi: The Internet idea can work for anyone who has an Internet connection regardless of location.

Malawi is extremely poor, so who is going to be able to access it, and won't they be able to speak english already if they can access it?? I’m not sure the internet idea will work.

This dictionary would definitely help many people including the speakers of Chichewa who are interested to know English to get more knowledge about outside world.I think, the foundation should also create content in Chichewa language and upload it in Internet, and thus, the speakers of Chichewa language would be bale to get to know about outer world through their own language. This will mostly help the students. It is a good initiative taken by Foundation Heart for Malawi.
