Raise a generation to change a nation
Equip the rural village church in southern Malawi to rescue the local double orphan, build a home and have loving volunteer parents raise the children in a family in their own village.
The Double Orphan
Our Ministry Focus
Put yourself in the shoes of a Double Orphan

- Carbs (Nsema – cooked ground corn) used to fill their stomachs
- The child becomes a beggar
Health

- No protection from Malaria
Education
