The Bahá'í Faith in Malawi begins before the country achieved independence. Before World War I the area of modern Malawi was part of Nyasaland and `Abdu'l-Bahá, then head of the religion, asked the followers of the Bahá'í Faith to travel to the regions of Africa. As part of a wide scale growth in the religion across Sub-Saharan Africa the religion was introduced into this region when an early african Bahá'í traveled from Tangayika in 1952 followed in 1953 by Bahá'ís from Iran the same year it became known as the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. A decade later there were five Bahá'í Local Spiritual Assemblies. By 1970, now in the country of Malawi, there were 12 Local Spiritual Assemblies and a National Spiritual Assembly. In 2003 Bahá'ís estimated their membership at 15,000 while the 2001 World Christian Encyclopedia estimated the membership at 24,500 and in 2005 revised their estimate to about 34,500.
