WHY
MALAWI TALENT FUND
As one of the poorest countries in the world, Malawi faces an incredibly challenging economic situation. We have identified three primary consequences which Malawians and Zomba residents, more specifically, encounter:
Severely limited employment opportunities for any educational level or experience base
Anemic prospects of self-sustainment for all citizens
Inability for church members to support their local church operations
When Malawian children advance into adulthood, they find limited vocational training and very limited employment opportunities. There is also serious concern regarding under-employment among the caregivers, who are generally women. Orphaned children are often the last to be considered in families that barely have enough resources to support core family members, let alone the many widowed individuals in the region. Malawi Talent Fund (MTF) was born to help address and mitigate these concerns.
Limited employment opportunities also effect the Mission of the local church to spread the Gospel and make disciples. If church members have no income, they are not able to financially support the local church. Income from employment enables local church members to tithe and support the Mission of the local church. Also, as active church members, having food on the table is a necessity to sustain life, including church life.
