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.
