Doug Miller

Doug Miller – Originally from Ottawa, Doug taught in Malawi from 1968 to
1972 and married his fellow teacher, Nellie Saka, from Kasungu. He was
Country Director for Canadian University Service Overseas in Malawi from
1975-76 but fled with his family into exile because the level of
oppression had become unsafe and unbearable. There, he became active in
LESOMA, the Socialist League of Malawi. In the early 1990s, Doug and
Nellie were deeply involved in the Malawi Action Committee and Canadian
Friends of Malawi, advocating and lobbying governments and international
organisations to bring about an end to the Banda dictatorship. In
retirement, he has been active as Director of Makupo Development Group
in Montreal, which supports education, health, water, and income
generation projects in the Chilanga area near Kasungu.
