the Immaculate Conception (MIC Sisters) towards girl child education in
Malawi with particular focus on the establishment, growth and
development of Marymount Girls’ Secondary School in Mzuzu., from 1963 to

courage of the pioneering Sisters towards the empowerment of fellow
women in places where they were sent to evangelize in spite of numerous
challenges that they encountered in the process. The history of
Marymount shows that education of the girl child provides a viable means
to development and improvement of life at family, nation and world
