each of these has sole representation powers. The regular Members' Assembly takes place once a year, usually in the first quarter.
On 21st April 2024, the Members' Assembly re-elected as Board for a period of another two years:

Membership fees and donations
The Founding Members' Assembly
fixed the monthly membership fee at 1.00 EUR for individuals and 5.00 EUR for legal entities and associations.
The membership fee is payable upon receipt of the confirmation of admission for the first time, then annually in the course of the first quarter.
For our new cooperation project, we depend on donations also from non-members, and we will be grateful for each and
every penny. We emphasize that we take our working in an honorary capacity very seriously; in particular board and members finance the trips to Malawi from
their own pocket, so that all income is being exclusively used for the purposes of the association.
