The main purpose of the Village of Hope is to give orphans a place to call home and a family that loves them. Each child that lives on the grounds is sponsored through the ChildCare Plus Sponsorship Program (link).

The Village Of Hope received approval from the Malawian government to operate as an orphanage on June 25, 2007. There are currently six homes open with a total of 24 resident children. All12 homes are constructed. The vision for the Village grounds is for 12 homes which would provide space for up to 96 children.

When a child comes to live at the Village of Hope, he or she moves into one of the houses with 7 other children and a house mother. It takes a little bit of time, but as the new ‘mother’ cares for her children, and the children live, play and go to school together, they become a real family.
