Mzimba
In many ways our Mzimba location represents our desire to provide equal service to people despite their tribal orientation. We point this out because some Malawians say [rightly or not] that the north gets neglected in Malawi’s progress and development narrative. We, however, realize that many sacrificial leaders of the country of Malawi have come from the north as much as they have from everywhere else. We feel that this is reason enough for us to not only invest in this location, but also among all people groups that may be on the fringe of progress and development.
Location: About 5 hours north of Malawi’s capital, Lilongwe.
Children’s Centers Program Rationale:
In Malawi the vast majority of the population lives scattered in many rural villages, while about 15% live in cities. The latter are privileged to have access to quality education, jobs, electricity, telephones, food, and transportation. Not only do most villagers lack these advantages, they also struggle to meet their daily needs in regard to food and water. Needless to say, the cycle of poverty in these villages has repeated itself for generations.
Our Vision:
Our children centers provide opportunities for urban youth to invest in the lives of village children by providing them with training and resources that they would otherwise not be able to have.
Operating Objectives:
Academic development, health and hygiene, sports and recreation, and spiritual development.
