Kanengo is a township located in the northern part of Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi. It is situated approximately 10 kilometers north of the city center. ^[1][2]

Kanengo was established in the 1960s as a residential area for low- to middle-income families. During the colonial era, it was a small settlement for African civil servants and businessmen. After Malawi gained independence in 1964, Kanengo experienced rapid growth and development, becoming a hub for commercial and social activities.^[3][4][5]
