Malawi - Searchlight Ministries

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. JAMES 1:27

We are a Faith-based organisation situated at Msema village, in Traditional Authority Kaduya, in the Phalombe district of Malawi.

Searchlight Orphan Care centre was established in 2002.It has managed to serve the needy community through local contributions. After seeing that all orphans in our area were not helped, we decided to establish an orphanage. We have two care centers, one at Msema village and another at Kalinde both in Phalombe district. We are now caring 40 orphans. We are operating in very remotest areas here in Phalombe where most of the orphans are ignored. And we hope to increase the number when get financial support.

Some of our day to day activities are:

[a] Providing early childhood development support for the orphans, vulnerable, disabled and malnutritioned children under five and years of age through daycare nursery education,feeding schemes,relief aid and nutrional supplement.
[b] Providing Community Home Based Care programmes to the chronically ill, disabled,old aged and all HIV/AIDS affected and infected people.
[c] To support widows and caregivers for families affected by HIV/AIDS,through income generation,obtained from committes, local contributions and from our local garden.
[d] To propagate HIV/AIDS awareness messages to the communities.
[e] To provide school cost sponsorship and domestic needs to the orphaned children aged between 6 and 18.
[f] To provide vocational skills training courses in eg carpentry.
[g] To provide relief/development services and environmental conservation activities eg tree planting.
