Nkhoma
Our Nkhoma location is located very close to one of Malawi’s leading Christian hospitals. In fact, most of our volunteers were born in there. Nkhoma also has a nursing school which provides our kids with an opportunity to be cared for by some of the country’s best care takers. We hold Nkhoma in very high regard and are confident that a lot of great things will happen at this center.
Location: About an hour South of the Capital, Lilongwe, on the way to Blantyre [Malawi’s commercial city]
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.
