Our Programs
There are no “quick fix” solutions to poverty, so Y-Malawi approaches the challenge from numerous angles. Our mission is to share the gospel, spread hope, develop communities, and train tomorrow’s leaders.

Village Churches
When you hear the word “church,” what picture comes to mind?
Y-Malawi supports local village churches as they engage in on-the-ground discipleship efforts within their unique communities. Our everyday work includes training and equipping pastors, supplying Bible-based curriculum, and leading classes that transform families and communities.
Some churches within our network operate in traditionally Christian areas, while others spread the gospel in predominantly Muslim regions. Regardless, the goal is the same: to share the good news of Jesus, practice love for one’s neighbor, and serve the least of these.

Farm Project
In Malawi there are three seasons: the dry season, the wet season, and the hunger season.
The hunger season takes place between when crops are planted and when they are harvested, and it’s the time of year where food is scarce across the country.
Our 100-acre farm - sold to us by local village chiefs - uses the latest irrigation techniques to grow crops year round, providing local communities with access to healthy nutrition when it is needed most. Food grown in other seasons is sold at the market and used to support other elements of our ministry.
