This is about ending hunger, but oh so much more.

Every year in Malawi the hunger season brings suffering.  So many, especially the women and small children, are without food, hungry and hopeless.  Each year it gets worse.  Feeding people helps, but it isn’t a long-term solution.  There is a better way.

What if Malawian’s grow their own food?  The land is fertile.  People are willing to work hard.  They just need a little help.  Our Y-Malawi family is now providing that help.  Not a hand out, but a hand up.

In 2023 Y-Malawi purchased more than 100 acres to start a farm project.  Much progress has been made since then.  The land has been cleared, fencing erected, a well is nearly finished.  Soon we will have greenhouses and gardens.  The plan is to grow both cash crops and food crops like the Malawian staple maize.

This farm will provide food for the hungry, but oh so much more.  As the cash crops are harvested, we won’t take them to market commercially.  Instead, our plan is to set up small businesses with local villagers.  They will be provided the produce without having to pay up front.  They will sell it in their village.  Then pay Y-Malawi the wholesale price and keep the profit.  In this way we can give hundreds their own business and we can get the food to the remote villages that need it most.

We started late in 2023 so our first harvest was small, but we have been working hard to ensure we can help as many as possible very soon.

How can you help?

This is a big project for us.  Thanks to some generous family, we have the stepping stones in place.  We are inching forward with each penny we receive toward success.

Will you pray about helping us?  Will you pray about investing in the future for the people of Malawi?  Maybe you can only give a small gift, that’s wonderful.  Maybe God has blessed you to give a substantial gift, that would be amazing.  Maybe your small group or church can get involved.  If everyone gives what they can, we can do this!
