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 was cleared, fencing erected, a well and greenhouses installed. But we have more yet to do.
How It Works
On the farm we are growing both food for the hungry and cash crops. These include maize, ginger, turmeric, peanuts, cabbage, tomato, peppers, and onion. The farm is also raising goats. 50% of the harvest will go to feed those who are in need. The balance will help support the ministry so that eventually, the work will be funded without dependency on money from others.
How can you help?
This is a big project for us. The stepping stones are in place and we are praying for a good first harvest. Yet, we have more to do. We need to build a barn for storage and security. We need to expand irrigation, and we need to make improvements to security.
Will you pray about investing in the future for the people of Malawi? Small or large, any gift will help us reach our goals. Maybe your small group or church can get involved?
Together we can do this! We can beat hunger and dependence!
