Davie Ndala’s Dedication to Education

This past May, our Standard Eight class took the Primary School Leaving Certificate Exams. One of our bright students to pass this rigorous exam and excel into secondary school was Davie Ndala. Davie Ndala is an incredibly hard working student. In fact, he is so dedicated to his studies, that others have witnessed him reading an English dictionary while playing soccer with his fellow classmates in their free time. Davie was even capable of translating from English into Chiche

Baking for Agape House Provides New Uniforms

In the United States, generally speaking, the talk of school uniforms is quite frightening. School boards across the nation have debated their pros and cons for decades upon decades. However, in Malawi, all students wear school uniforms. In fact, one can distinguish which school a child attends based upon the uniform he or she wears. In some sense, uniforms can provide dignity for the student who is able to remain in school and receive an education. Many of the students at Ag

Trinity

Trinity has three younger siblings. They all live together with their mother who works in a restaurant in their district of Mbayani. As a family, they attend the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall together. At Agape House this week Trinity has learned to multiply numbers in math class. She is dreaming big to become a doctor after she finishes school. As we have mentioned in previous posts, this is a bit of a cultural taboo for women, as it is seen as a “man’s job.” We love that s

What is a Street Child?

There are over 120 million “street children” across the world. 30 million of them can be found in Africa. What exactly is a street child anyway? The Humanium organization and SOS Children’s Villages describe a street child like this: “Street children are minors who live and survive on the streets often growing up in landfills or under bridges in major cities. Because of conflicts with their families these children do not want to or cannot return home.” There are two types of

Let the Little Children Come

As you look at this sweet little girl, you can’t help but to wonder…Surely this little bitty thing doesn’t have to beg on the streets of Blantyre!? She is hardly able to talk on her own yet, hardly able to walk on her own, hardly able to take care of herself. My heart cried in anguish at the mere thought of this sweet girl having to beg just to eat her daily bread. My heart cried, “Oh God, why??” The reality is that the little toddlers come to Agape House not because they th
