Orphanage Completion-Malawi, Africa

Our ministry, Acts 3 Global Ministries , has been in the process building and completing an orphanage in the city of Blantyre, in southern Malawi, Africa for some time now. The building itself is over 10,000 sq ft. It features a boys and girls hostel (dorm) that are designed to hold 48 children each. for a total of 96.

There is also a large dining and kitchen area, and a 5 room medical suite for a live-in medical care provider, waiting area, treatment room and quarantine room. It also has 4 other live in suites for the house parents / care takers. There is also a large outdoor laundry area and a 3-room house for the family of the head of security. The building itself sits on nearly 2 acres and is completely fenced in by a 6 foot+ brick fence.

The Remaining work for Phase 1:
As visible from the pictures, the building itself is complete structurally. What is still lacking includes much of the wiring, plumbing, plastering (concrete work), the placing of screens and glass in the windows, the framing of the ceilings in most of the rooms, and concreting the remaining portions of the floor.

There are also pieces of furniture and equipment that must be purchased. They include commercial stoves, sinks, refrigerators, and freezers for the kitchen and the beds, mattresses and mosquito netting for the children’s rooms.

 Once this phase is completed, we will begin phase 2 – the construction of 6 classrooms for the children.

 Estimates in Malawi range from 1-2 million orphans and vulnerable children in Malawi. Many of these children are victims of physical and sexual abuse, and infected with aids. If you would ever like to go and see the project, you are welcome to come on a trip with us or drop in if you are already going there. Feel free to contact our ministry if you have any questions.
