Village School Project
Reaching children with the love of Jesus through education, care, and discipleship.
The Village School Project is being built to serve children in rural Malawi who have limited access to quality education, daily nourishment, and long-term support.
This school is more than a building. It is a doorway to reach children and families with the love of Jesus through education, meals, biblical truth, family care, and community relationships.

Project Stages
Stage 1: First School Block Underway
Construction has begun on the first school block, moving the vision from planning into visible progress.
Groundbreaking
We broke ground on the first school block in June 2026.
Foundation Complete
The foundation was completed soon after groundbreaking.
Current Status
The walls are nearly complete, and roofing will follow.
Stage 2: Launch Preparation
From July through August 2026, construction will continue toward completion of the first block while the team prepares for the first preschool students.
Classroom Setup
Furnishings, books, uniforms, and classroom supplies
Education Planning
Teacher hiring, curriculum preparation, and food planning
Family Connections
Family visits, student selection, and staff hiring
Stage 3: Preschool Launch
The target window to welcome the first preschool students is September 2026. This first launch will begin the daily rhythm of education, meals, care, and discipleship for children in the village.
Child Sponsorship
Child sponsorships are needed to pay tuition, teacher salaries, and food budget
Welcome Students
We hope to start welcoming our first set of students in September 2026!
Make an Impact
Watch as the children thrive and grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Continued Phases
Once this building is complete and operating, we will focus on finishing the rest of the needed structures.
Stage 4: Bathrooms and Required Facilities
Additional support is needed for government-required bathrooms, currently estimated at $22,000.
These facilities are necessary for the school to open and serve children safely, responsibly, and in alignment with required standards.
Stage 5: Additional Classroom Blocks
The next priorities are two additional classroom blocks. Each additional block is currently estimated at approximately $70,000.
These classrooms will help the school grow beyond the first group and make room for future students and grade levels.
Stage 6: Covered Assembly Area
This facility will support chapel, meals, school gatherings, parent meetings, community training, and discipleship opportunities. Cost: to be determined
This space will help the school serve the students, their families and the wider community.
Sponsor One of the First Students
Help a Village Child Begin School
As the village school prepares to launch, student sponsorships will help provide ongoing support for the children who attend.
Each sponsorship will help cover school expenses such as teacher support, two healthy meals each school day, books, uniforms, and classroom needs. More than that, sponsorship helps make it possible for a child to receive a high-quality education, daily care, biblical discipleship, and the love of Jesus in a safe and consistent environment.
The first group of students will be limited as the school launches. This is a meaningful opportunity to come alongside a child from the very beginning of their school journey.
Be Part of the First Sponsorship Group!
This sponsorship program will be organized with student details, family background, photos, and progress updates. Sponsors will receive regular communication throughout the school year. If you visit Malawi, there may also be an opportunity to visit the school and see the ministry in person!
