Mission

Bright Vision Orphan Care exists to help meet the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of orphans and vulnerable children in the village of Chamadenga in Malawi, Africa through the love of Jesus Christ.

Program accomplishments

• FEEDING PROGRAM: Providing food for hungry children was the first and only program that Bright Vision offered when it started in 2005. Sixteen years later, we are still providing food for children in the village. Over the years we found that there are certain times of the year when food is most scarce and people are most hungry. From November to April we offer feeding programs on Wednesdays and Saturdays, averaging around 600 meals served each day. Combined with the nursery school meals, food distributions, and family support, we'll provide about 100000 meals this year.
  Expenses $13,270
• AGRICULTURAL PROGRAM: Much of Malawi is dependent on farming for their livelihood, and the village of Chamadenga is no exception. We seek to employ what the local people already know about farming, and work towards making it better. The agriculture program has become an integral part of what Bright Vision does throughout the year. While providing jobs for people in the community, we also work toward providing better nutrition and farming outputs in the area. We now have 17 acres under cultivation during the rainy season, and four acres throughout the year via irrigation from a local dam
  Expenses $8,020
• EDUCATION: Nursery School: Everyday, Monday through Friday, one hundred children from ages two to five attend our nursery school program. They are taught basic concepts such as letters, numbers, shapes and colors. They learn stories from the Bible, sing songs, and memorize verses together. Everyday these children are fed a high protein porridge, Likuni Phala, that is especially important for their development at these early stages. Attending nursery school provides these children with a head start by preparing them for their primary education, and gives them direction and hope for a better life. Secondary School: In Malawi, the government provides free primary education. If students pass their exam at the end of Standard 8, they can be chosen to attend secondary school. But secondary school is not free. Many students are unable to pay the small tuition and examination fees. Their formal education ends, severely limiting their opportunities for employment in the future. We're helping students continue their education by offering scholarships to students who fit two criteria: 1) their family cannot provide the fees for them, 2) they have shown the ability and willingness to succeed academically. Every year we choose 40 students from the area and sponsor them to stay in school. Half of this number will be young women. Getting their secondary education is one of the key ways to keep them from underage marriage and teenage pregnancy. Also, their life expectancy goes up, maternal/infant mortality goes down, and standard of living goes up.
  Expenses $7,855
• CHILD-HEADED HOUSEHOLDS (Family Sponsorship Program): Several years ago, Bright Vision leadership was made aware of three girls living alone, without guardians, in a house that was literally falling apart. Bright Vision intervened and with the help of generous donors, we built these girls a house. This was the beginning of our family sponsorship program. For the past 6 years, we have been supporting ten "Child-Headed Households"- normally children living on their own or with elderly grandparents who are unable to care for them. Each year we pay school fees, provide farming inputs, roofing materials, household items, and food support. More recently, in 2019-20, we have built three homes for families in desperate need.
  Expenses $6,994
• OTHER PROGRAMS include; Discipleship and Local employment (providing jobs for people in the village).
  Expenses $17,342
