Community Centers

Ministry of Hope has established community centers in six villages in the central region of Malawi to provide a range of services aimed at caring for the needs of orphans.

  • Key Services:

    • Tutoring, libraries, and mentorship programs.

    • Seasonal meals, with increased support during the "lean season."

    • Weekly feeding of thousands of children to sustain health and education.

  • Collaborative Effort: Villages donate land; international donors fund food, supplies, and construction.

Educational Programs

Ministry of Hope sponsors scholarships for those in secondary school and college and this program has some of the most transformational and enduring impacts in the lives of Malawian children. It is also one of the most costly programs.​ Scholarship support is a key aspect of this life-giving work. In Malawi there is no free public education after the 8th grade, and without the support of a family, a child's education would end at this point.

  • Scholarship Details:

    • $30/month supports a high school student through senior year.

    • Over 300 secondary and nearly 100 college students are sponsored annually.

  • Success Rates: MoH students excel in high school entrance exams, outperforming the national average.

  • Growing Demand:

    • Over 150 qualified secondary and 30 college students remain on waiting lists annually.
