The Need

The nation of Malawi is a small land-locked country on the southeastern side of Africa. Although it is a land rich with natural beauty and historical culture, Malawi is currently the 5th poorest nation in the world, ranking with Somalia near the bottom of Africa's per capita income.

Besides the burden of overwhelming poverty, Malawi's inhabitants are being ravaged by the growing pandemic of HIV/AIDS, which has infected an estimated 16% of the total population. Tragically, this little land has earned the nickname "The Orphan Nation" because of the over 200,000 children who have been left alone in the wake of this disease.

THE NEED IS THERE BUT HOW CAN ANYONE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

The future of Malawi, and Africa in general, is in the hands of individuals who will care for this next generation. This is where YouthCare Ministries (YCM) has stepped in. The following is an introduction to who they are and how you can be a part of this special ministry commitment.
