In Malawi, one of the poorest countries in Africa, schools lack funding, and many parents cannot afford to pay minimal fees to send all of their children. The result is that most families educate the boys but not the girls. As a result, girls are encouraged to marry early—even as young as 13—and they start having babies at the age they should be learning eighth-grade history or ninth-grade geometry. We are changing this by helping girls in the city of Lilongwe go to school and stay in school. Our project is being headed by Pastors David and Fanny Injeidi, who lead a dynamic church in Lilongwe. In 2024 we began building The Deborah Center, a vocational training center for women who struggle financially. We will teach classes on sewing, literacy and other skills when it is completed.
