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 Classroom Block is Complete
Construction has begun on the bathrooms and will move into the second classroom block soon
Completed
After only 3 months, we are overjoyed to announce that the first classroom block is COMPLETE!!!
Current Status
We broke ground on the bathrooms in September and hope to finish by November.
Welcome Students
Now that the classroom is complete, we can focus on the launch preparations for students.
Stage 2: Launch Preparation
With the completion of the first classroom block, the team will focus on preparing 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 November 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 November 2026!
Make an Impact
Watch as the children thrive and grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Continued Phases
Once the bathrooms are complete and operating, we will focus on finishing the rest of the needed structures.
Stage 4: The Kitchen
The next priority is building a kitchen for the school. This space will make it possible to prepare the two healthy meals for all students daily. Cost: $20,000.
The kitchen will be an important part of caring for the children well and helping make sure they are ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
Stage 5: Additional Classroom Blocks
Following the kitchen, the next priority will be two additional classroom blocks. Each additional block is currently estimated at approximately $70,000 each.
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 serve as chapel, cafeteria, school and parent meetings, community training, and discipleship opportunities. Cost: TBD
This space will help the school serve the students, their families and the wider community.
Be Part of a Child's First School Journey
Help a Village Child Begin School
As the village school prepares to open, student sponsorships will help provide the ongoing support needed to keep the school running and make it possible for the children to attend completely free of charge.
The children who will attend come from some of the most vulnerable families in the community—families who simply could not afford school tuition, uniforms, meals, or supplies on their own. We never want a child’s financial circumstances to keep them from receiving an education, so there will be no tuition charged to these students.
These precious children are also growing up in a Muslim environment and have not had the opportunity to know who Jesus is or understand what He has done for them. That is one of the things that makes this school so important to us. Along with receiving a good education, healthy meals, and consistent care, they will have the opportunity to hear about Jesus in a safe and loving environment. They will learn that they were created by God, that He knows them, and that His love for them is real.
Sponsorship is a tax-deductible gift of $50 per month, and those gifts help cover the everyday costs of operating the school—teacher support, two healthy meals each school day, books, uniforms, classroom supplies, and other needs. In other words, sponsorship helps make it possible for the school to remain free for the children and their families.
But the impact goes far beyond meeting practical needs. Each child will have the opportunity to learn, grow, be cared for, receive biblical discipleship, and hear the truth about Jesus.
Because the school is beginning with just 35–40 students, there will be a limited number of sponsorships available at first. As you read this, would you take a moment to pray about whether sponsoring one of these children might be something God is asking you to be part of? We would love to see each student surrounded by people who are praying for them and helping make this opportunity possible.
Sponsorship Details
Sponsorships cover teacher support, two healthy meals each school day, books, uniforms, classroom supplies, and other needs that make the school possible. When you sponsor a student, you’ll be paired with one of the preschoolers in our program. You’ll receive photos, information about your student and their family, and regular updates as they learn and grow.
