Orphan and Widow Care

Because of AIDS, Malaria, and other diseases, Malawi has many widows and orphans. If we support widows so they can care for orphans, we help build families and communities.

We build facilities for orphans and widows and we feed them. Our goal is to teach them to grow their own food and help them learn about healthy nutrition and hygiene to reduce the unnecessary spreading of diseases.

Currently, our programs are run as day programs and our goal is to establish a local cooperative where orphans and widows sell food they grow and products they make.

Once the children get healthier and stronger, they can attend our school and/or training programs and eventually be able to support themselves and “their” widows.

Education/Training

Education is not only about academia and knowledge, but needs to teach practical skills.

Everything we do has the goal to help locals survive and thrive. Fish farming, growing of vegetables, grain milling, wood carvings for tourists, and peanut oil production provide training and business opportunities for the local population. There will be a need for skilled staff and workers to maintain solar, electrical and mechanical equipment, service wells and septic systems, and use modern farming techniques.

Training in prisons helps inmates develop skills that enable them to earn a living. This training includes welding, basic solar installations and maintenance, English, math, carpentry, and masonry. Training can also help prisoners get released. There is no parole, but if the guards think the inmate has changed for the better and has work skills, they might decide to release them.

Bicycles are used for getting around and as taxis. Prisoners learn to modify donated bicycles so they can be used as taxis and provide a means to earn a living. Taxi bikes before and after shipping

Health Care/Clinics

Along with food scarcity and malnutrition, the lack of access to health care and medications contributes to Malawi’s high mortality rate.

We are working with the Malawi government and other groups including faith-based organizations to bring health care to rural communities. We are partnering with American doctors and dentists to serve the community, organize health fairs, administer immunizations, provide prenatal care and birthing support, surgery, dentistry, and preventive care.

During our most recent summer health fair, one group of doctors and dentists served 4000 local patients in 6 days and saved 200 lives including those of children critically ill with malaria.

There is a need to build more health care facilities including in prisons, employ local staff, provide treatment including malaria treatment, operate a pharmacy, and provide health education including hygiene education to prevent disease.

A mobile boat clinic is coming and will enable us to go to the unreached around Lake Malawi and provide care.

Food

Over 6 million people including over one million children in Malawi are impacted by hunger and food insecurity. This makes them more vulnerable to diseases, keeps them caught in the cycle of poverty, and prevents children from attending school and vocational training.

There is a huge immediate need for food to treat malnutrition. Beyond this desperately needed crisis intervention, we have long-term plans to end hunger and food insecurity.

We are looking at introducing radically new concepts and cutting-edge technology that will help introduce new foods to the limited diet of corn, rice, and cassava which does not provide sufficient needed nutrients such as proteins.

Protein such as fish, chicken, and soy will become part of the regular diet in our communities. Fish farming will provide a source of protein. In addition, the fertile byproducts will allow the growing of green vegetables such as chard and spinach. The fish food will be produced locally from peanuts. The fish food making process produces peanut oil which can be sold and help provide funds for other needs.

The traditional crop of corn and rice as familiar staple foods will continue to be available to our communities.

Other plans include reforestation to improve the climate, provide better soil, shade, and more rain in areas where it is needed.

Aquavoltaics will allow us to grow food under solar systems. This state-of-the-art technology will keep the ground cooler and use about 80% less water because water condenses off the panels and drips back down onto the soil.
