Chosen

join us in partnering with world vision to bring hope to those in Malawi (Africa).

World Vision partners with local churches to serve the world’s most vulnerable people. Through the years they have improved access to food, increased access to emergency health and nutrition services, and improved access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.

First Reformed Church has partnered with World Vision through child sponsorship in Malawi (Africa). In Malawi 50% of the population are under the age of 14. Drought, along with high inflation, is contributing to hunger, which is expected to affect an estimated 2.8 million people in the country.

April 2021: Kapeni Community

In April 2021, we partnered with World Vision to sponsor 101 children from the Kapeni community in Malawi. With our help, this community has moved to Phase 2 in World Vision's goals.

World Vision Phase 2: Establish
Community projects begin as we work shoulder to shoulder with families. Excitement grows as families start experiencing positive change. The well-being of children improves as solutions are implemented.

World Vision has been in the Kapeni community for 6 years and provides regular updates of how the community is benefiting from their involvement. Click the button below to view their updates including a Community Video release in August 2023. We are making a difference!

April 2023: Mbonechera community

This April, we partnering with World Vision again to sponsor children in Malawi. This time we are sponsoring children in the Mbonechera community. This community is in World Vision's Phase 1.

World Vision Phase 1: Plan
We start by building relationships with local leaders and community members. The community identifies their greatest challenges and develops an action plan. The community nominates vulnerable children for sponsorship.

Mbonechera is an agricultural area in southern Malawi, on the edge of a national forest. A combination of environmental degradation and farms that are too small means many people can’t grow enough food to feed their children year-round.
