IFFD is an organisation founded by the indigenous Malawians in order to see to the societal needs of Muslims in Malawi. IFFD was officially constituted on 15th of April 2017 at the Itereng Masjid in Laudium (Gauteng, South Africa) with the election of its first leadership. The negotiations to start a new organisation focussing on Islam and Muslims in Malawi started sometime in 2016, with the first account of the organisation opening in December 2016 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
