Malawi Project Inc

Having been to Malawi twice, on mission trips through our church, I have seen first hand many of the needs of the people suffering there in below poverty conditions.
After learning about the Malawi Project, and all that they do continuously to aid the precious Malawians, we were excited to be a part of donating to this wonderful nonprofit, and highly encourage others to do so also.
Our church heard about the plight of mothers about to give birth at the hospitals, and villages, and the high mortality rates of these mothers and their newborns because of infections.
The Malawi project gave us a list of what was needed to compile items into Life Packs to be given to the mothers in line at hospitals, or, if need be, during home deliveries. We sent 100 of these packages for birthing mothers and their newborns to the Malawi Project, who is the hub for these and many other life giving items.
We are so grateful for this avenue of helping through those who serve at the Malawi Project.
May the Lord continue to bless you for all that you do.

I've been involved with the Malawi Project for several years, and each year I am thrilled to see how many more people and organizations have become involved in the effort to help some of the poorest people on the planet, that literally live half a world away. When I first became involved in the Project, I thought helping people that needed help was the right thing to do. It was so easy to see how lives of these kind and gentle people were improved by the efforts of donors and volunteers in America. I've come to realize that God's plan was a lot more involved than my simple view. I've witnessed several individuals, families, churches and organizations that have become excited by participating in some of the Malawi Project activities. The Malawi Project has certainly benefited an untold number of people in Malawi, but I have been so pleasantly surprised at the effect it has had upon the volunteers and donors in America. As it turns out, this ministry is touching lives in Malawi and America.

Malawi project is doing a recommendable work here in Malawi. In its core programs like health, education, Agriculture and general humanitarian it has positively impacted thousands of lives in Malawi. For example recently, Malawi was hit by Cholera outbreak and more cases were recorded and lives were lost but Malawi project came in by providing disinfectants to prevent further spread of Cholera and medical gowns for hospital personnel when treating the Cholera patients.
During cyclone freedy Malawi project helped in supplying medicines to some referral hospitals in areas where Cycone freddy had hit had in order to treat the cyclone freedy survivors who sustained various injuries.
Malawi project also helped in with food and clothes for those who were affected by the cyclone freedy.
Thousands of farmers and households are becoming food secure and economic empowered through the help of Malawi project Agriculture programs.

It's clear that Malawi project is dedicated to improve the lives of Malawians. Malawi project indeed brings smiles to once sad faces, food to hungry homes and hope to the hopeless.

I have watched the Malawi Project grow from the founders to the fantastic work it is doing today. The founders, Dick and Suzi Stephens, felt called of God to help the impoverished people in Malawi after going on a mission trip to that country. My, how that calling has been blessed by God! What I most admire about the founders is their mission was to not only help Malawians with food, medicine, hospital beds, schools and orphanages, but to train Malawians how to provide for themselves. I give the Malawi Project very high marks, the best of the best.

From carrying a black bag of throwaways, boxed up and sent to Malawi in 1993, we have now sent well over 300 containers of perfectly useful medical supplies with adding school books , Mobility Units , drip irrigation , 11 farm tractors, and millions of pieces of literature. Obviously, when an opportunity comes our way , we take it and run with it. God leading and willing, we will continue support Malawi for many years

Last May I had the privilege of visiting Malawi and participating in a distribution of mobility units to two locations. The recipients were so excited to receive the units that they had spent several hours in the hot sun waiting for the truck to arrive. It was for good reason these people were excited. Being unable to walk for a variety of reasons, mobility-challenged people in Malawi have almost no possibilities for succeeding in anything. They cannot go to school, work, or even make it to the store since all these activities involve walking. They are consigned to a life of just sitting on the ground or floor in the villages where they live. The mobility units offer them a new life where they can dream of getting an education, starting a business, or just going out to see friends. When the truck finally arrived, their faces filled with big smiles as they crawled across the ground to receive their units and the exciting future they offered. This is just one way the Malawi Project is changing lives in Malawi, lifting up the poorest of the poor. It is a privilege to be connected to such an organization.

Bro. Dick Stephens is a great servant-leader. We met him during the pandemic when we were giving away masks and hand sanitizer. He shared the Malawi Project with us and we have been with him every since. It has been our pleasure to send clothing and household items after the hurricane. Our hearts broke to hear what the expectant mothers have to go through. We not only have all those items at the hospital, but we are sent home with diapers, milk, and coupons for items we may need for our babies. We are currently choosing which project will be our next focus of attention. Thank you for the opportunity to share. May God continue to bless you and continue to bless us so we can bless you.

I have learned of the needs and how the Malawi Project helps the Malawian people. Goods for everyday living such as food and clothing are provided. Medical equipment and supplies that are surplus in America go to hospitals and clinics that need them so badly. Assistance with food projects such as greenhouses to grow tomatoes, developing farms to grow fish, providing a new way to plant maize and researching other procedures and knowledge to increase food production. As an adviser/consultant it gives myself a way to give back from the many years of agricultural experience gained and apply it to the needs of the Malawians. The Malawi Project assists rather than doing. It enables Malawians in doing it themselves.

Let me start by saying that I cannot say enough kind things about the Malawi Project. I am a former Board Member and my husband lends a hand whenever needed. We have both been to Malawi and seen the work that has been done. We were amazed years ago when we saw the hospital and children's home that were built with the Malawi Project's help. And, now, years later, the Project is supporting Action For Progress which is run by the Malawians, sending millions of dollars in medical equipment and food, and gained the help of many companies that have been there to start projects so that Malawians can help themselves. Another reason we like giving to the Malawi Project is that we know where our donations are going. They are making their way to Malawi! Again, I cannot say enough about this organization. Come have lunch with me and I'll tell you more!!

The Malawi Project is now part of the fabric of our local community connecting us with local volunteers and those volunteering throughout the US. Our church mission committee has enjoyed the shoulder-to-shoulder ministry of the Malawi Project and our church has joined others in helping to provide support to those who have shown the incentive to grow through their own efforts.
I have talked with those who have benefited from the initial help of this ministry and enjoyed hearing how they are now are independent, all due to The Malawi Project.
The productive work of “teaching people to fish” instead of simply “ giving people fish” is lost on many charities. The Malawi Project is a shining example of teaching people how to succeed and then stepping away to enjoy their success.
I’m very proud to be a minuscule contributor alongside those who are of the same mindset..

This organization not only truly helps the people of Malawi but they teach by leading the importance of volunteering and helping others. I have been working with the Malawi Project since I was about 9 years old and am now a Sophomore in High School and still volunteering with them. I look forward to working alongside this wonderful organization for many years to come. Dick and Suzi are two of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and am so lucky to learn from them.

Malawi project has indeed made a positive impact on most parts on Malawi since the Organization began to intervene. So many activities have been done so far, including provision of books and other school supplies to school children in the rural areas as well as the provision of essential medical supplies to most District Hospitals in the country.
As the donations continue, there shall be a much larger improvement in the country in terms of education, food security, as well as health. The Organization must therefore continue doing such great charity work inorder to improve the living standards of more people.

Malawi Project is playing a very important role in
the country in order to make sure that people's living standards are improving.

For instance, children in rural areas who had never had access to books are now owning the books in their schools

Public hospitals are given different medical supplies such as medical walkers, chlorine, Surgical gowns, Baby packs just to mention a few through the support from Malawi Project

I have also observed that physically challenged people are now able to perform their duties such as doing businesses,, going to school etc. Due to the support from Malawi Project As they are provided with Wheelchairs

The Malawi Project is also improving people's nutrition as well as raising their economic standards through fish farming project which is being implemented in various communities in Malawi

As a volunteer at Action for progress which is under Malawi Project, I really appreciate what the Organisation is doing by helping the most vulnerable people in various communities in Malawi as their living standards are improving

I have learned so much from the stories of the lives impacted as a direct result of the efforts of the Malawi Project. I appreciate the intentionality of the donated goods that are shipped to Malawi - the focus remains centered on what is needed most so that every dollar donated can have the greatest possible impact. I was fortunate enough to walk through before a shipment was loaded into a container and was in awe of the planning and the hours of work that went into ensuring that every last bit of the container would be utilized. It is evident that those serving are sure of their purpose in helping others.

The volunteers at Malawi Project are extremely passionate and mission-oriented in their every day lives. I know many of the volunteers, and they are constantly promoting and innovating the methods of support for Malawi. I can see how efficient they are with any dollars donated, as the many hours they spend on the phones and in a free-leased warehouse are often unaccounted for in the overall measurement of the program. Most notably, when the Project sponsors an event like a golf outing, the dollars are never going toward luxuries that could otherwise be donated. Their frugality and ingenuity go a long way to inspiring even more generous and creative donations. The leadership of the Project make it easy for others to freely given their time and money, as donors are assured the stewardship is as responsible as the cause is worthy.

I have been in awe of the tireless efforts made by so many involved in the Malawi project. The sincerity and dedication to service is heartwarming and inspiring.

I have been Malawi Project supporter for almost two decades. I believe they are the best I have ever seen at multiplying the impact of the dollars and resources they provide for the people of Malawi. In addition to that, I really appreciate the humility with which they lead and work with an in-country non-profit, Action for Progress to make the decisions that best utilize those resources. May God continue to bless, lead and provide for the wonderful program!

Last year i was able to go to Malawi and see not only the immense need but also experience the difference that the Malawi Project is making in the lives of the people of Malawi. I witnessed the change in people who had spent their life crawling on their hands and knees receiving a mobility. I saw people receiving food and medical care that we take for granted here in the States. We sat and laughed with some very special ladies in a hut where the only furniture in the room was a bamboo mat to sit on. I had seen pictures of the conditions there but until you actually experience it, you don't fully understand. And yet in many ways, the people I met seem happier and more content than many here who have so much.
The work that the Malawi project is doing is changing lives and showing people in Malawi that their Christian brothers and sisters care about them and have not forgotten them.

I have been on the board of the Malawi Project for several years. I love that this organization not only procures and sends aid to Malawi but they intentionally let the Malawians decide and control the way the resources are used. This allows those who know the culture and the needs on the ground to utilize aid in the best way possible. It also allows the Malwaians to build their own future and reach independence. After 30 years of working in the country, the Malawi Project can proudly say they have put medical equipment and supplies in 40% of the country's healthcare facilities, textbooks in almost all the country's public schools, and sent more than $300 million in supplies and aid to the nation of Malawi. So inspiring...

The Malawi Project is a ministry that carries out what most non-profits cannot do. Everything they bring in goes to the ministry and the people of Malawi that they proudly serve. In partnership with Action For Progress, a Malawian non-profit that oversees the distribution of all goods shipped into the country, they are helping people across the country of Malawi. Whether it is medical supplies, wheelchairs for the disabled, school books or hand tools for farming, they reach out to all aspects of Malawi life both in the cities and to the remotest villages. But they are also working towards sustainable farming practices and food preservation and storage needs to assure that Malawians are better able to provide for themselves. It is a blessing to partner with the Malawi Project.

I rate this project 5 stars. Malawi project is authentic and is one of few projects where the greater ratio of resources goes to the people on the ground and not admin.

It is a project that has steadily grown and now has countrywide reach which proved invaluable during the scourge of the covid-19 where they distributed sanitiser and facemasks in the hundreds of thousands, in the millions in hospitals and health centres all around Malawi; they continue to do so. And as the country battles hygiene based pandemics such as cholera, this support has proven more than timely; even intuitive.

Malawi is a country blessed with natural beauty reflecting God’s power and love. Those who visit are also impressed by the kindness and love of the people. It’s uplifting to see people sharing when clearly there isn’t enough to meet all of the needs. There is need for clean water, healthy food, local medical clinics, books for schools, supplies for clinics/hospitals and much more. So when your visit is over you’re left wondering: “How Can I Help?”
Malawi Project helps you to help the people of Malawi. MP ships containers of various supplies and equipment that are a blessing for the people. Many hospitals, schools, businesses, congregations, and individuals provide supplies to MP for container shipment. Others provide funds to help with the cost of shipping those containers.
Malawi Project provides a reliable means of helping the people of Malawi. They partner with Malawians to determine needs, priorities, and logistics. MP provides an effective way to actually help the people of Malawi. Jim & Virginia McPeak

The Malawi Project is a great organization, with great leaders, doing great work. It has been an inspiration to see the impact they have made in the Malawi.

I have worked with the Stephens for several years now and have always been impressed with their passion for the people of Malawi. They have worked tirelessly through the years not only with their charitable work, but also with their efforts to help the people of Malawi become self reliant.
This is by far one of the best charitable organizations in existence today.

I have followed The Malawi Project since its founding by the Stephens in 1999 and know firsthand the passion that these two tireless workers for the Lord have for the people of Malawi. I know most of the board members and meet regularly with one of them to stay close to the Project’s goals and accomplishments and they are many! My wife and I have contributed to this work and we have helped raise funds for the Project. I would, without hesitation, recommend The Malawi Project to anyone seeking a place to target philanthropic giving. Your funds will be used in the most efficient way possible to make life better for the People of Malawi.

The Malawi Project works hard to ensure that the aid contributed makes it into the hands of Malawians in need. Their support over the last 25 years has helped many Malawians to eat, have medical supplies, and many other important needs met.

Very few charities run so efficiently with how they utilize their donations - this is one of them! The work they do is crucial to helping an entire country become self sufficient and create leaders within the country. The work is needed as the needs of Malawi are great!

I've had the opportunity to learn much more over the last few years about the Malawi project and the broad scope of work they do with, and in support of, the people of Malawi. The growth of this organization and its impact over the last 23 years from a scratch start is truly amazing. Their mission to address basic human needs, but in a way that allows people to develop the ability to help themselves is the key to making their impact sustainable. Guided by Christian principles, powered by a growing list of volunteers, and funded by a broadening base of support, the Malawi Project will continue to change hearts and improve lives for so many in one of the poorest countries of the world.

I am a foreign missionary to Malawi from the Hughes Road church of Christ in Madison, Alabama. I have had the good pleasure of working with Mr. Richard (Dick) Stephens for at least the last six (6) years. The Republic of Malawi is among the ten (10) poorest nations on the planet. This organization has almost single-handedly done more civic, social and religious good then any group I’m familiar with. I know for a fact, this nonprofit have saved many lives through some terrific healthcare and food sustainability projects. They are number one in my opinion. I just had to tell their story. Larry

I have been familiar for over 20 years with Malawi Project, some of its principals & its efforts, works & accomplishments in one of the poorest nations in the world. In every instance, they seek to follow God's guidance in exhibiting Christ's Compassion to the people of Malawi through an organization that significantly & prudently involves & includes Malawians in the work. Malawi Project's efforts include a broad spectrum, including building infrastructure, health care, education, food manufacture & distribution, as well as evangelism. Malawi Project maintains decidedly ethical standards & is a very high quality entity that has considerable credibility with government leaders & other entities that aid them in their work. God has blessed their efforts abundantly due to their love for the people of Malawi & I have been fortunate to participate in that work in a very small way.

Malawi Project has been working in Malawi for over 30 years in areas of health, agriculture, education, social and disaster.

Malawi Project effectively works with the local Malawians in such a way that project ownership is easily transfered to locals. Malawi Project develops local capabilities. This is rarely seen in other non-profits.

Accountability and transparency are always key when working with Malawi Project.

Amazing & helpful to not only their own community but also communities worldwide. The passion that overflows from the members of this organization is evident and SPECIAL!

We are Rescue Medical Supplies a NGO that shares supplies with other NGO in the world. One of those superior organizations that we love to work with is the Malawi Project INC. They are very well organized and very successful in saving lives in the country of Malawi. They have helped people find jobs or start business and helped medical professionals with items they need to be successful in treating peoples and healing the sick. We highly recommend this NGO

Malawi Project has been working in Malawi serving the underprivileged communities across the country supplying them with food, clothes, mobility units, books and assisting them to be self reliant. The organisation has also been assisting public and private hospitals as well as public schools. Hospitals have been receiving medical supplies and Malawi Project has been very helpful during the Covid 19 pandemic. Schools have been receiving educational materials. In Malawi, the Organisation work through Action for Progress and is the main donor of this local Non Profit Organisation. I am a Board Member for Action for Progress (AfP).

The Malawi project provides help in healthcare, education, nutrition, and other areas in one of the poorest countries in the world in such a way that helps Malawians be in charge of the resources received.

I have been impressed with work being done by the Malawi Project. I have known Dick and Suzie Stephens for many years and know the work they do is for the love of the people they serve.

I have worked with Dick and Suzi Stephens collecting supplies, packaging them and wrapping pallets to be shipped to Malawi. As a result, I know their dedication, love and hard work for the people of Malawi. I have read numerous accounts of how the people of Malawi have been helped by this project. Other than the glory being given to God, the greatest thing about the Malawi Project is how it is dedicated to empowering the people of Malawi to take care of one another and not to simply rely on handouts. This is a great non-profit worthy of support. The vast majority of money goes directly to help the people of Malawi.

The Malawi Project is and excellent way for us to help our brothers in Malawi toward a better life. We strive to help them improve their situation by working with them to increase food production and improve storage methods. We also send millions of dollars worth of supplies that are needed in their hospitals and in daily life, items that we often take for granted here in the US.

This incredible nonprofit gets so much help on the ground! They have the local contacts and locations needed to properly dispense needed items directly where they are most needed. I, personnally have witnessed the distributions and I highly recommend them.

We visited Namikango Mission where witnessed first hand the leadership at the local clinic for expecting mothers. Supplies were current and useful.

Also visited the children’s hospital near the capital. Very clean, organized, and stocked.

Both have excellent management by locals and expats.

It is encouraging to see what is packed on a sea container actually show up in country and to be full of useful and needed items.

I worked as a missionary in Malawi, Africa with very limited resources. It was my privilege to become acquainted with the Malawi Project which used its resources to greatly enhance the work my mission could do. The Malawi Project supplied our maternity clinic with vast amounts of support ranging from simple items like syringes and bandages to complex diagnostic equipment. Without this help, we could not have provided our maternity services at anywhere near the level we did. The Malawi Project then began supplying us with vast amounts of other medical supplies that allowed us to provide both public and private hospitals with desperately needed supplies and equipment.
There were other areas of our work that the Malawi Project empowered us to serve at a scale we had not dreamed possible. When famine came to the country following a drought, the Malawi Project provided us with enough food to feed thousands of people for several months before the harvest came. In addition, the Malawi Project supplied us with wheelchairs and other mobility vehicles to help those whom we served who could not walk due to health issues.
During the seven and one-half years of working in the Malawi, the Malawi Project never stopped providing us such assistance as they served the people of Malawi through us.

Hard-working and passionate in pursuit of their goals.

This is an amazing group of people who selflessly offer their time, energy and resources to give aid to and ease the suffering of the people of Malawi. I first learned about Malawi Project around the time of its inception approximately 25 years ago. Over the years, I've developed a deep respect for Dick and Suzi Stephens whose love for and dedication to the Malawi people gave birth to the organization. Food, irrigation systems, a hospital and medical supplies have been provided, along with lots of love and care.

What I appreciate most about Malawi Project is that (unlike some charities) they walk alongside the people they serve, living among them — even sometimes at their own peril, facing disease and tremendous hardship without complaint. Their focus always has been to not simply give handouts to a needy people, but to help Malawians become independent and self-sustaining for the long term. This is very worthy cause.

The Malawi project does amazing work with helping these wonderful people become independent and stronger. They are being taught better medical practices and how to grow healthy foods to survive during every wrathet situation. They are receiving machinery and medical aid and the instructions to use it all to their own benefit. Nothing goes to waste. This is something that I am proud to be a part of.

From what I've seen this project has done great work and is striving to improve the lives of many. It is nice to seen the percentage of the donations actually going to the work in Malawi.

Malawi project is amazing. Whether I donate money or items they make sure I know how it’s been used and keep me up to date on their amazing projects.

I have always believed that you can only really help those that help themselves . This is why I have been so impressed with Malawi Project Inc. Allowing so many to be blessed in so many ways.from all over the world.
Ronnie Martin

I have followed the Malawi Project for many years. I have spread the word of their work and have also been a loyal contributor to their projects. It has always impressed me the way this project has been implemented. I am a firm believer in 'Teaching man to fish." At the Malawi Project, that is exactly what they do. They simply provide knowledge and resources and the people of Malawi do the rest. They are so dedicated and hardworking to the point it leaves me speechless. It is common knowledge that the people of Malawi endure severe hardships, but it may not be common knowledge that their commitment to overcome these hardships are second to none. Their hard work, dedication, and overwhelming grace is something we should all aspire to.

What an amazing organization with some of the most passionate volunteers/leaders that I've ever met and had the privilege to work alongside. From Dick and Suzi Stephens, co-founders, to the Malawi Project's board members and all of those who are "on the ground" in Malawi working to support and empower the Malawian people. It's been an honor to be able to assist them with some of their marketing efforts, as well as personally donate to this worthy cause.

The Malawi Project is an organization that has truly helped changed the face of a nation from the inside out by empowering Malawians themselves. You can feel confident knowing your support of this organization fully goes to Malawi as there is very little overhead and administration.

My brother intrduced me to the Malawi Project a year or so ago. After researching this non profit, i realized they truly bless the lives of those in Malawi and touch many who have suffered much and would never would have had critical needs supplied without this wonderful ministry!! Most of the funds shared go directly to the people and so much good is done by this wonderful group. I am honored to be a small part of it!!

The Malawi Project does mission-critical work in health care, agriculture, education and more. I believe in and support the good work that the project is doing for the people in one of the poorest nations in the world. Thanks for all you do, for making a difference in the lives of the people you serve and keep up the good work!

The Malawi Project Inc.is a unique NGO in that it encourages programs that ensures full independence of the clients served.

The NGO helps Malawians through Health, Education and Agriculture and food security.

Poor households who had been trapped in poverty for a long time are now freed. People with physical changes that disabled them to move, are now free to move and engage in developmental work because The.Malawi Project has helped them have wheelchairs.

Children who have never owned a book, now are able to get suppliementary books to read and expand their horizon.

So, The Malawi Project is a unique NGO because it involves the local people to identify their need and help them stand on their feet.

Malawi project is a life serving partner .It is helping Malawi in healthy, education and Agriculture.it becomes heartbreaking to visit the public hospitals to access medical care but then find out that the hospital's have no medical supplies and patients are left stranded. There are many schools with building's labbled library but you find there is no single book and students have no where to access the books to read and study for assignment and exams. Thus where Malawi project comes in , it provides medical and educational suppliers where they are needed most .Time and again Malawi project has helped thousands and thousands of Malawians who have been facing the food shortage-hunger by providing them with food . Providing farm inputs like fertilizer to farmers is a transformative initiative to help Malawians to become food secure. Physical challenged who have no access to mobility units are also being helped by Malawi project as it gives the mobility units ,with this help children have returned to school and many other have started businesses. With Malawi project ,Sad faces brighten up .Thank you Malawi project.

I had the great pleasure of going to Malawi with dick and Suzi with the Malawi project. Dick and Suzi have great hearts for the people in Malawi. The Malawi Project helps many people in Malawi through education, healthcare, and food distribution.

I thank God for the Malawi Project often. It has meant so much for us to ship our Mobility Carts manufactured in Wheatfield, Indiana, to Lilongwi by 40 foot Shipping Containers for several years, and now they go directly to the new Distribution Center, just dedicated. We have shipped 6 full containers to Malawi in the last 3 years with 1164 Carts to be distributed. The Distribution Center is locally owned by Action for Progress and operated by a Malawian Board of Directors who partner with the Malawi Project to bring many humanitarian goods to assist those in need and to assist in the long range development of the country. Malawians must be in the forefront of relief and development efforts in the country if these efforts are to be successful--and, developing right before our eyes, we witness a model that stresses the necessary leadership of administering assistance by Malawians. The Malawi Project honors and fosters that, hoping to help replace the archaic and paternalistic 'colonial intervention method' of imposing ourselves on the African cultures. True partners work to compliment each other as equals.

When we load a Shipping Container a seal is affixed on the doors by us in Wheatfield, Indiana, and it is not opened until it arrives in the hands of Action for Progress in their Distribution facility. The Malawi Project passed along its trust of the local leadership in Malawi to us; we know firsthand of the capabilities of the staff of AfP because we spent 2 weeks traveling all parts of Malawi with the AfP staff in late 2018 to see firsthand how our Mobility Carts are distributed to the leg-challenged men, women and children that mostly crawl on the ground. And of course we also then witnessed so many other ways the Malawi Project and AfP were working hand in hand to spread the love of God to those so desperately in need of such love.

Any organization that works in a developing country needs to learn the very hard lesson of transferring leadership and responsibility to the local cultural leaders in such country--that is something the Malawi Project continues to foster--that's what makes a Great NonProfit!

The country of Malawi has been independent since1964. Since then poverty has been a major problem plaguing the country. Unfortunately it grows worse every day and many organisations has been established in Malawi but they haven't completely alleviated any poverty.
Since Malawi Project started in Malawi it has reached many areas and have helped a lot of vulnerable people by providing them with necessities which is severely needed and has alleviated much of the problems, especially poverty that are plaguing Malawi. Necessities in Farming,  Education, Health and even provide bicycles to crippled people who have never left the ground since their birth is a blessing.
Concerning the poverty situation, Action For Malawi has constructed and build a huge warehouse which will hold and keep medicine and health items, school supplies and equipment and assorted food from all well wishers. Their instrumental in teaching leadership, agriculture, education, health and so much more. I am extremely proud of the work that is being done here in Malawi on behalf of Action for progress project. The warehouse is a great asset to Malawians because it assures the poor and needy that they will be able to actually receive their donation and because of the new warehouse, distribution will be much easier. Under the management of Malawi Project team people will definitely be assisted easily and faster. The warehouse is located in capital city Lilongwe, close to the airport. Right now Action For Progress is ready to receive all donations from well wishers from all over the world and those received donations will be assured safety and is protected before distributed to the needy. I highly recommend Action For Progress, under the Malawi project to anyone who has it in their heart to help and assist the poor and the needy. Thank you and God Bless. Steven Vinson

This charity makes a huge difference! When citizens of Malawi wait at the airport by the hundreds /thousands for leaders of this project to arrive in Malawi, you know the Malawi Project is highly respected and making a difference. When Malawians say that no other group on the planet (besides one other country) has helped Malawi like The Malawi Project, it's time to take notice. So, we did!

Our church building is 2 blocks from Mayo Clinic, where people come from all over the world to find answers to health challenges. We are blessed to be able to do our small part to help! We have also chosen to help one of the poorest countries in the world - Malawi. Our children have adopted Malawi as their mission project. So, they donate part of their allowances each Sunday to the Malawi Project, Inc. We then go shopping together to make purchases for Malawi. We've collected clothing, school supplies, work gloves, tools, and made handmade quilts. We are committed to growing in our support for these beautiful people.

"Malawi Project  is probably the only organisation that focuses on the needs of a person by transforming such a person from dependency to independence. Malawi Project does not stop at that point but continues to transform that person to be a tool in transforming other people. In other words, Malawi Project is the only organisation in Malawi that empowers the locals and make the ready for their future. "

Dick and Suzi Stephens are friends of ours. They told me the story years ago of while sitting in a church presentation on the people of Malawi how their hearts burned when they heard the plight of the Malawi people. Dick said that was the day they decided something must be done to help alleviate the suffering so many children had undergone when losing parents to Aids and famine. For more than 20 years now, Dick and Suzi and the Malawi Project Team have been blessed to send over $250 million in used medical equipment, village tractors, irrigation kits, mobility units for those who can't walk, medicine, band-aids, text books and other countless items to those most in need. Their leadership, dedication and love for their neighbors in Malawi have inspired countless others like me to give of our time and resources to help where we can. The Malawi Project is so unique in that they work hand in hand with Malawi leaders and support the people there in the country to run their own programs the way they believe works best. Arm-in-arm cooperation with the dignified people of Malawi has proven to be the right approach over time. Dick and Suzi Stephens and the Malawi Project have shown me how real outreach can thrive when the dignity of the people served is paramount. May God bless the Malawi Project!

Malawi Project has been a blessing from God to the people of Malawi for many years providing: housing and food for the orphans, medical supplies to hospitals, special wheel chairs for the handicapped, and modified farm equipment for the farmers. In addition, 2019 is very special. The Distribution Center is being completed that will help the farmers store their crops. This will reduce crop losses as well as help minimize the impact of droughts and floods. Also, 2019 is the year that Malawi Project partners with a not-for- profit called Action for Progress that is run by Malawians. This is an important transition that enables Malawians to help each other.

This is an amazing organisation in Malawi. It helps the needy stand on their feet. If you have a little something don't hesitate to donate towards this good cause.
Helping Malawi in spiritual growth, medicine, agriculture, and many more. Let's donate to strengthen it.

I have not had a lot of experience with this project on location, mostly what I have read, and learned from others. I do support its projects and have learned that their ratings in actualizing their thoughts adn ideas is high. The impact of what they do is long reaching. Giving to them to further the endeavors that they espouse is worthwhile. I particulary was entranched with the providing and utilizing of used amber prescription bottles. This saved money and the meds that filled were donated from pharmaceutical companies that manufactured said drug. All and all, this is a worthwhile organize to lookinto and give, participate.

I have learnt about the Malawi Project from 2002. I have volunteered with Malawi project in Malawi and have witnessed their efforts making a very big impact in (1) Health, (2) Agriculture and Food Security (3) Education and General Humanitarian Assistance.

What has touched me more is the approach employed by the Malawi Project where it involves the locals in development work. That's empowering them. No dependence!

For example, The Malawi Project has worked jointly with locals in construction of Grain Storage buildings. Local people contributed labor, materials and the Malawi Project contributed resources to ensure people have better food storage facilities that can aid food security at community level. That will have big impact to thousands of poor families and cut the famine cycle that is contributed by lack of storage facilities that cause deterioration.

The Malawi Project first caught my eye somewhere on the internet as they were collecting empty medicine bottles. As it was so easy to give, people I know rounded up many and sent them to Indianapolis! I soon saw the reports and photos of Malawians with the bottles in their hands. I got the bug! What else can I send to human beings that I have too much of?! I saw the call for hand tools and I did a collection. This time, my husband and I drove to Indianapolis and met Dick and Suzi. Well. They are what I would call the real deal. They are Christians who don't shy away from any discomfort in order to do what they can as humanitarians in Malawi. They are humble people who I trust. I want to support them in prayer and in gathering goods for Malawi as long as the Lord sees fit.

I traveled with the Malawi Project
Board for 2 weeks in Malawi this fall and I was overwhelmed at their
outreach and the influence they have made on this country. They have put their funds to use in so many areas including medical supplies, educational materials, books, agricultural aid in the form of v tractors and drip irrigation, famine relief and so much more. And best of all, they are working with Malawians who are leading the process. I was deeply touched by the people in Malawi and their gratitude for even the slightest kindness. This country has so many needs but in spite of that it was an unbelievable experience to see the love and warmth of the people there. I cannot say enough good things about the difference the Malawi Project has made and will continue to make for so many!!

I have worked with and supported the Malawi Project for more than 20 years and have seen first hand the great job the organization has don year after year.

I have worked with the Malawi project for several years and know the founders and THIS non-profit truly works for the beneficiaries with the donations and funds truly going to help the ones that need help. The goal is to help the Malawian people help themselves as opposed to giving them things. The projects carried out are run by and maintained by the Malawian people and not the directors of the Malawi project. And it does far exceed expectations.

The Malawi Project Inc does much good for the people of Malawi. The main focus is providing the people the tools to help themselves. A very worthwhile organization.

My local club, Altrusa International of the Capital City of VA, chartered( since 1994) under an international umbrella of more than 350 clubs provides extensive community service " in our back yards"and develops leaders in service. For 5 years, through an International Committee, we have shared the distinction with some of our other clubs to provide birthing kits, medicine bottles, and personal hygiene shipped cases (approx. 20) to Indiana. What a great learning experience about Malawi we share through Richard and Suzi Stephens. Though Skye, letters, conversations, etc. we have made real "each one help one" with Dick and Suzi and their organization. These humanitarians , selfless service ambassadors and authors make Malawi come alive in minds and spirits like no others. They paint portraits of Malawi people that make us feel like they are our next door neighbors. We are so proud to know such model leaders and their influential organization.

I am a retired long -term medical missionary having worked at Chimala Mission Hospital in Tanzania. I have known of the Malawi Project and Richard and Suzi Stephens since they began the work. It has been exemplary and has helped an amazing number of people in Malawi. The work is continuing and is more than deserving of support from organizations, grants, individuals, etc. // Frank Black, M.D. - Indianapolis, IN

Malawi Project Inc. was started by caring individuals who made it their mission to improve the quality of life for people in Malawi. The organization has not only provided hundreds of millions of dollars of supplies and equipment to the people of Malawi, it has been instrumental in the establishment of a school, multi-complex hospital, and food distribution plants. What makes Malawi Project most impressive, however, is the dedication of its volunteers who are determined to not only provide support to those in need, but also to provide the people of Malawi with the tools they need to thrive on their own.

I have had the pleasure of working along with and supporting this non-profit for 3 years. The work that they do and the support they provide to those in Malawi is phenomenal. This is a great organization backed by amazing people who want to make the world a better place. If you're looking to make a difference in the lives of Malawians I would highly recommend supporting this non-profit!

During my tenure at a multi-faceted ministry in Malawi, I witnessed how the Malawi Project allowed that ministry to expand its assistance to the community exponentially in several areas. One of our areas of service was a maternity clinic. Once the MP got involved, we were able to equip not only it, but also dozens of other hospitals and clinics over a several hundred square mile area. Ambulances and trucks from those facilities would cover a field as they came to receive their supplies. Many of these clinics and hospitals lacked basic medical supplies like bandages and needles before the MP got involved. The MP chose our location to open up a warehouse that received many tons of other humanitarian aid as well. We were able to provide wheelchairs to the disabled, food to the hungry, school textbooks to students, and on and on through our association with the MP. The help came in more ways than I can elaborate on here. Then we learned that the MP was helping several other efforts across the country. There is no question that the MP is making a huge impact among a people who have lived in the grip of poverty and suffering for so long.

I am Faith Lewis Somanje, a young man born and raised in Malawi.
I have known the Malawi project as a non profit making organization for almost three years now, mainly because of its humanitarian support programs in Education, Relief and development. The wonderful thing is that it doesn't ask for any benefit from the communities it work with.

Recently the Malawi project has constructed a community warehouse in one of the areas I work with ( Dowa west, Central Malawi) with motivation from the bible story of Joseph in Egypt. This will sure help the community to store enough food that can be used later when they are faced with hunger.

This plus many other programs have been a blessing to many Malawians throughout all regions.

Malawi Project is a worthy work in a country which needs immediate assistance. My experience with the intentions and work of Suzi and Dick Stephens stems from their attending a Medical Mission Seminar in Tennessee in my home church in 1999. The work as always been to benefit the physical , spiritual and educational health and agricultural needs of the people.
The current famine creates an urgency for basic nutrition to which donors can share some of their tax refund.

It has been a high honor to have become a regular donor to this exceptional organization. I have come to know its leaders, the Stephensons, rather well through years of their patronage to my business. The Malawi Project is purely inspiring to me and I greatly admire the passion and courage that it takes to effectively run. There are myriad good will projects that this organization undertakes that benefit people that are in tremendous need and are resource deficient. I would heartily recommend that one consider donating to the Malawi Project with a monetary gift or donation. It will be appreciated beyond belief and one will be rewarded in knowing how far reaching their kindness will be.

I don't think I have ever known a more passionate group of people for the work they do. It is so inspiring to hear the stories of how The Malawi Project has lifted so many lives in Africa.
In a time when we must be cautious of where we send donations, it's great knowing this organization is accountable.

We have been helped in so many ways by the Malawi Project for the passed fourteen and a half years. We would NOT have been able to assist the people of Senga Bay, Salima in the way we have if it WEREN'T for the Malawi Project.

Over the years they have helped us with the building and supply of books for our Para Community library, which thanx to them we have been able to expand by providing additional books to MAFCO Community Secondary School library.Provided us with medical supplies for our District Hospital, medicines, bandages, etc for our Clinic at the Gate and now medicines for Ndi Moyo Palliative Care. Giving Mobility for the Immobile by providing wheelchairs, walking frames, crutches etc and now the new designed PETS.Two V Tractors to bring mechanised farming to the rural areas.Clothing and Linen for the less fortunate. Forwarded volunteers to assist in village projects, understanding that we are about the people for the people, no matter their culture, religious beliefs etc.
How can we express just how grateful we are and how amazing the MALAWI PROJECT is, the work that they do for us and many others in Malawi can not be expressed fully in a few sentences.THANK YOU

I've been involved with Dick Stephens' ministries since the late 1960's, so when he told me he was getting involved with helping the people of Malawi, I knew they were in for a great blessing. From helping people find better ways of farming, including introducing a tractor designed from the ground up for their special needs in that part of the world, Project Malawi has done a wondrous amount of work, works of love, they would call it.

If any of you are looking for a great work to support that is doing wonderful work in this largely forgotten part of the world, you can't do better than the Malawi Project.

So many thanks to Dick and his staff for all the trials they have endured in helping the people of this nation, and thanks to God for giving them His strength to accomplish it.

It has been a pleasure getting to know Dick, Suzi, and others involved in the Malawi Project. They are doing a great work in an area of the world that needs assistance. It has been a blessing to be able to support their efforts.

I have known the Malawi Project from its infancy as I had worked with Suzy when she and Richard first began developing the idea of going, working and improving the life of people in Malawi. They have more than proved that a little ripple in a great pond can bring waves of support and help. They have worked side by side with the people in Malawi to lift them up. I am an avid supporter of such a fine organization.

I have long admired the Malawi Project as a well-run, effective organization. It has remained focused on its core mission, so that funds and efforts are used in the most efficient way possible. The list of positive effects on the poorest residents of Malawi is impressive. As a life-long minister, I have seen many missionary organizations that are long on good intentions but short on know-how and effective strategy. The Malawi Project is run by people with the best of intentions, but who also have approached their task with careful thought and effective strategy.

This is a great effort to help the people of Malawi help themselves. Those involved are very loving and dedicated.

Malawi Project's goal to make Malawians independent is seen in all their programs. Malawians in leadership and administrative positions of all their programs in the beginning insures ownership by the nationals and much greater success of the program.

This organization does an excellent job of avoiding aid-dependency by utilizing strategies and designing/implementing programs which promote innovation and development independence. These facets are powered or heavily influence by valuable Malawian knowledge and various citizen perspectives. The organization's partners are well-trained, scrupulous, and professional. If you are looking to volunteer or donate to an Indiana-based organization which delivers productive results, promotes local empowerment, is highly focused, and doesn't accommodate troublesome neoliberalist ideologies (i.e. "The West knows best"), the Malawi Project is the NGO you are looking for.

Malawi Project does great work in a part of the world often ignored in the West. Their program runs the full spectrum from famine relief to medical work. Fantastic group.

As a woman who's plan was to homebirth their first child with the presence of a midwife, even I was startled by the fact that these women have to labor and deliver all alone with no one to help them, or in a facility where tools are rusty, broken, and unsterile. So when they're simple requests were for a razor blade to cut the umbilical cord, a onesie, Hat, and blanket for the baby, for a bed pad to keep the blood and fluids sanitary and for easy disposal, I was moved at the simplicity of their request. These relatively inexpensive and common items can make such a big difference during one of the most important events in a woman's life emotionally, spirituality, and physically. This is just one amazingly simple way to show the love of Christ. Blessings to you all who make the Malawi Project a success.

Had no Wheelchair for my school going child. I could carry her on my back to and from school. Malawi Project gave her a wheelchair to use. I am now free to attend to other things while my daughter is in class learning.

Unlike many NGOs, Malawi project has workers with highest integrity. They don't promise what they cannot help.
They provide and not promise where they can.

The project is helping people stand on their feet......NOT handouts.

Thanks Malawi Project Board and workers in Malawi

As a nurse in Malawian major hospital, I help patients with cancer. Though we have drugs that help relieve the pain, one challenge experienced for years has been simply how to get pill bottles with which to disperse liquid medications to patients.

If I attend workshops, I was making sure I collect as many empty water bottles as I could. These, we could clean them and disperse medicines with to patients. It was hard.

Now, we have been given thousands of pill bottles by the Malawi Project inc. We are able to share liquid medications to our cancer patients with.

Thank you Malawi Project. Thank you all who donated. You have helped us here in Malawi. This can only be understood by a medical profession like me

Great Project that has provided primary service to tens of thousand s of Malawians.

Supported in Education, health care, Agriculture and humanitarian assistance to most needy communities.

The project's main focus on rural underprivilleged people makes it more people centred with an aim of making a difference.

They have been supplying various goods and service to vulnerable people in Zomba.

I came to know about this organisation through Wilson Isaac Tembo, a very hard working young man working for this project.

Enabling the poor to stay poor by shipping used, substandard equipment that does not work and is outdated, used pill containers that now litter the streets in a country that does not recycle, and insists on old ideas in a new Malawi

The Malawi Project has grabbed the attention of Americans, showing them that community collaborations across continents can be done without the influence of power differentials. By operating with local decision making in Malawi, The Malawi Projects' American community enables growth, positive development, and positive decision making empowering Malawians to do what is best for themselves.

This past year I have watched as literally thousands of people in a number of nations participated in the pill collection program for Malawi hospitals. Well over 1 1/2 million pill containers were received before it was stopped on December 31, 2015. It is not often a program is so successful that a charity must stop it, but this happened to the Project in just 8 months of activity.

One can hardly find the words to express the appreciation the Board of Directors feels toward all who trusted the MP enough to commit to such a massive and successful program. Thanks to everyone who has seen fit to work with us to help the people of Malawi.

I started collecting pill containers at work in May/June collecting about 500 or so. It was an easy project that did not cost any one anyone anything and made everyone feel good.
Now I have about 100 bottles that I don't know what to do with and we are now asked to send financial donations. Surely there are other countries in the world that could use medicine containers, but when I asked, I was not given any other options but was given the request of financial donations.
It's a shame that this is the way it ended. I gave it four stars because it was a good program while it lasted, but I would give it one star as to how that program ended.

The Malawi Project does a great job of informing donors of their current projects, as well as documenting the progress in both written word and photographs. As a donor, I appreciate all of the hard work by volunteers that goes into each and every project. When I give, I never feel like my donation is sent into a void where I might question what became of it; rather, with Malawi Project's wonderful newsletters and posts on social media, we know our donations are being received, properly handled, and eventually routed to those in need. What a wonderful organization! I can't enough good things about them.

I am thankful for the Malawi Project and future successful Projects in Malawi! I have a heart for the Malawians. I am a Missionary who traveled in Malawi, and Ministered in 2012 and 2013 . I wanted to stay in Malawi , however I was waiting on the Holy Spirit to direct me to stay. I plan to return and I plan to stay longer. I want to make a difference in the Hearts of the Malawians. Yesu ndi wahmoyo,,,,,,Indiana missionary and chaplin
I am truly thankful for how you have helped the Malawians who are so dear to me.

I have known about the Malawi Project nearly from the start as I have been friends of Suzi and Dick for many, many years. They have a steadfast love and devotion for the people of Malawi! So much so, that they have laid their lives out to help them. As the government of Malawi and others have partnered with The Malawi Project, an amazing transformation has been taking place! Malawians have been given a hope for their future. The work is far reaching. The needs are great. The Malawi Project has had a great impact for positive change. There are improvements in the conditions of hospitals, In the opportunity for people to learn how to earn a living, in the care of those with special needs, in giving a people with little hope, a hope for a better future.

If you're looking to support a non-profit that is single-handedly changing the face of a nation and its people for the better while also making them self-sufficient - this the organization for you! Plus, it's an organization that is a great steward with its resources and funds. You can be re-assured that their donations go directly to help the individuals and programs in Malawi that help make it a more self-sufficient nation as well as a healthier one. I highly recommend this organization.

I've worked with the Malawi Project for a number of years now and I can't tell you how impressed I've been with the work they do. By teaching the people of this great land to be self-sufficient by growing their own food or by helping them with their health care system, the work they have done has truly been blessed. The most amazing thing to me is that they do not have permanent representation in the country and have worked with the people so that they can be self sustained on their own in the years to come.

After visiting Malawi in 1993, my whole life changed. I have never been the same and would never want to be. I first fell in love with the children and then the whole country of the kindest, gentlest , most happy people on earth. They had little possessions, but the most loving and giving hearts of anyone I have ever met. To be honest, I left wanting what they had. Community, sharing, closeness and a peace that I could never find in my busy, fast paced, materialistic world. However, they suffered from malnutrition, malaria, lack of drinking water, no infrastructure to call on for help, aid or hope to live a better ,healthier life. They died painfully and needlessly for lack of even the simplest medical supplies and medications that I find on every street corner of my home land. Dedicating my life to help them have an easier, healthier life was the best gift I ever gave myself. Malawi Project is God lead, with people following His lead, and the resources He provides has amazed all who see. Malawi Project is ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE, who can do every thing we can , if they just had the resources and opportunity. With God on our side ,we dreamed the wildest impossible dreams and He provided those dreams multiplied by a million. If you give yourself the gift of loving Malawi and her people, YOU will never be the same either, because God comes up so close when you serve them it is tangible and goose pimples break out as you KNOW you are doing what God wants you to do, just loving the poorest and neediest people you could ever meet. Partnering with us, The Malawi Project ,will make you appreciate your country like never before and will drive you to help others and give you peace as you please your God. Suzi Stephens RN Co Founder Suzi@Malawiproject.org

The Malawi project is so incredibly beneficial to the people of Malawi. The founders, Dick and Suzie Stephens, are beyond passionate about their role. They give above and beyond anyone I've ever met.

Great nonprofit group doing amazing things! The Stephens family have devoted so much time and energy to helping Malawi.

So proud to do just a small part to help this organization. When deciding whether to participate in the medicine bottle program, I researched the organization. After my research, I had no problem presenting this to my church as a worthwhile program for us to support.

I had the incredible privilege of working directly with Dick and Suzi in Malawi. They are tireless servants working at all hours towards strategic goals that have a direct positive impact wherever their efforts are applied. It's a real honor to watch their supporters coalesce under dick and suzis direction making a fruitful and tangible difference in Malawi.

The best part of the Malawi project is their ability to be light on their feet with the ability to change direction quickly meeting an immediate need when it occurs.

It's been some years since I've been to Malawi. There's not a day that goes by I don't think about the Malawi Project and Dick and Suzi. These are the organizations that truly change lives for the better and warm Gods Heart.

We have known Richard and Suzi Stephens for over 20 years and have seen the good that has been done for the people of Malawi. We helped collect used hospital bed from a nursing home near us and ship them to Malawi. Another time we collected medical supplies and loaded them in a container and shipped them to be used by the hospitals in Malawi.
My husband has made two trips to Malawi and has seen first hand the good that has been done there by the Malawi Project.
We know of no other mission effort where all of the money and supplies that are donated goes directly to help the people. Every member of the board of the Project serves without a salary and is not allowed to use any of the resources for anything other than to help the people of Malawi.
Because of their work there a village chief donated land to build a school for the children of her village. They have also built a grist mill to grind maze because the women of the village was having to carry baskets of maze on their heads and walk about five miles to have it ground. They have built an additional school and are in the process of building a hospital on the property.
This is only in one location in the southern part of the country and thy have done much more through out the whole nation.

I have been involved with the Malawi Project from almost the start. We have helped the people of Malawi in so many ways. Some as simple like sending food others as complicated as building Hospitals. But the one thing I have noticed over the may years is that the Malawi Project is not a top down driven organization it has been driver by the opportunities that ordinary people bring to the table. You don't need to be a doctor to help the sick you can send the simple items that a family would need. People all over the world have found their way to help.
The Malawi Project is not driven by money it is driven by the heart.

The outpouring of support for the needs of the people of Malawi continues to amaze us year after year, and the work done by the Malawi people themselves to make this support meaningful is beautiful to behold. In the past 21 years this support base and working relationship has resulted in over 20 million dollars in food, educational, agricultural and medical being distributed throughout the nation. We are deeply appreciative to all who have made this endeavor possible.

I work for Cornerstone Advertising and I have had the pleasure of working with Dick Stephens, fearless founder of the Malawi Project, on many online and press related projects. Since day one I have been consistently impressed by the tireless dedication that he and his team have shown for the people of Malawi. Dick and his team at the Malawi project exemplify what a Non-Profit should strive to be- a selfless organization that teaches those it helps. The Malawi Project seeks to teach the man to fish so he can survive after they are gone. What a wonderful concept for other organizations to follow. Thank you Malawi Project for all that you do!

Great nonprofit the truly cares about the people of Malawi. Their latest endeavor to collect pill bottles for the hospitals of Malawi has truly gone viral through social media. The Malawi project should be able to single handedly provided enough pill containers for every hospital to stop dispensing in napkins. What a heart this group has for other people. Proud to be a donor and volunteer.

I worked with Malawians before I learned of the Malawi project and the immense good they do. When I experienced first hand, boots on the ground, what the Project did for Malawians and how they operate- allowing Malawians to better themselves instead of just giving handouts, I knew I needed to do everything I could to help them. If you have an opportunity to help the Malawi Project, please don't hesitate to do so. It will be used wisely!!!

The Malawi Project is an amazing organization that has enabled two of my kids and myself to become involved in a meaningful way to help Malawi. The people of this organization are dedicated to helping the people of Malawi learn to help themselves. They also completely support Americans of all ages in finding their talents and supporting this country. I have had the opportunity to travel to Malawi with this organization and saw first hand the incredible level of support they have provided and the deep respect they have earned by the people of Malawi. It is clear to me that supporting this organization will directly help a country in great need in some very big ways.

Malawi Project Inc is creative, reliable, successful -- and a wonderful example of love in practice -- inspired by the love of Jesus Christ. I speak as one who has benefited from help from Malawi Project in my own work for many yeas here in Malawi. Bless all associated with Malawi Project!

Pete Henriot phenriot14@gmail.com www.loyola-malawi.org

I have personally been involved in the work this organization does and know first hand how detail oriented the program is. Each dollar is maximized through the years of first hand experience in providing aid. I feel blessed to have been able to contribute to the program.

The Malawi Project has given my family and I, a chance to volunteer with a very good organization. We have helped sort and pack medicine bottles. My daughter and I have helped put together birthing packs to be given to expecting mothers in Malawi.

Donating empty pill bottles reuses and keeps plastic out of the trash stream

The Malawi Project is an exemplary organization -- a mission model for assistance programs. It's volunteers and donated resources are used to partner with and mentor the Malawi people, to equip them as they work with them to become self-reliant. Their emphasis is "caring for" rather than "caretaking." We met Richard and Suzi Stephens seven years ago, who through their character and information about the Project, made lasting impressions on us. Our congregation has since participated in various assistance projects, including sending a young couple to Malawi for a short mission trip.

Bob Ubelhor

We have been aware and have supported this project off and on for over ten years. The things that have been accomplished, hospital, orphanage, nutritious meal production, etc., only begin to demonstrate the impact made on the people of Malawi. Dick and Suzi Stephens, along with so many others, have done amazing work. This is a most worthy endeavor.

The Malawi Project has done so many wonderful things for so many needy people! When I donate, I know that my money is going to a good cause: wheelchairs, hospital building and supplies , food, etc . I highly recommend this organization.

I have had the immense pleasure of knowing Dick and Suzi Stephens for several years now as one of their health care providers and I am ceaselessly impressed with their devotion to the Malawi Project. They have personally helped me with transporting equipment donations from my office to Malawi and they have been extremely grateful with each donation. I have enjoyed learning about the culture and conditions of Malawi through their exceptional publications. This is a top notch, extremely well-operated organization that is worthy of your attention and donations. Dick and Suzi are truly heroes to me and I hope that I may one day emulate their kindness in deed, service, and gratitude.

We interviewed Dick and Suzi on our Boston radio station, "Fireside." They were incredible in their passion and devotion to the people of Malawi. Our listeners let us know that their story gave them hope for humanity and one said their story brought them to treats. They are special people carrying out a very special ministry. Nancy and Jim Callahan, cohosts.

I volunteered with the Malawi Project twice, in the summers of 2005 and 2006, and had my life and heart utterly stripped to the core and changed from the inside out. I am astounded by the impact the Malawi Project has made in the country over the years and the multiple times they have been recognized by the government. The desire the organizers have to make a difference in the lives of the Malawian people cannot be described in mere words - it's something that must be seen, felt, and heard. This project is worthy of support and I will do all that I can in the years to come to further their vision in impacting Malawi for the better.

I have been amazed at the opportunity in Malawi and the wonderful response and work the Stephens have put into helping the people of Malawi on so many levels. I have enjoyed not only interacting with Dick and Suzi about The Malawi Project but encourage others to consider it. At one point we were active in collecting discarded nursing home beds in Kokomo, which hospitals in Malawi welcomed!

The Malawi Project is an amazing organization that is able to act as a catalyst to increase the impact from each dollar given. The Malawi Project doesn't own any infrastructure within Malawi, but encourages local ownership and independence and self sufficiency.
The Malawi Project doesn't just focus on one issue or problem and is one of the reasons why I think my donation is able to make the most impact in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Most importantly, I know that my donation is used to show the love of Jesus to those in need.

My wife and I were visiting Malawi in 2005 and stopped on our way from Karonga to Thondwe overnight at Blessings Hospital. We were totally blown away by the site. First, there is a clean, well organized hospital that meets the needs of those in the surrounding area-including an ambulance. Everything is well maintained and it is truly a peaceful place. Next, there is the vita-meal plant next door that produces bags of porridge to stem the chronic starvation of Malawi during the drought season. It is a clinically sanitary environment meeting rigorous standards. Last but not least there is a wonderful, compassionate and well thought out orphanage on the property.

Compassion and love are freely given. Our money did not go to the lifestyles of the rich and famous but 100% went straight into the maintenance of the site. In the midst of suffering and chaos it is so refreshing to find a group that spends its money totally on its mission and not in self sustenance.

We have met Dick and Suzi personally and know their hearts and their mission. It is making a difference in Africa. The plans to meet needs on levels that fundamentally resolve the issues that cause the most suffering is practical, thoughtful, and realistic. The concept of delivering wheelchairs, special tractors, medical care, prenatal and delivery care will help raise a hopeful generation of Malawians who will truly make their home the warm heart of Africa.

Years ago I was preparing to teach a Sunday School Class on the topic, "The Compelling Gospel". I asked Dick what it is about the gospel of Christ that is so compelling that Christians will dedicate and sacrifice their own comfort and lives for the sake of others. Dick replied that these Christians are compelled to
"lose themselves in a Cause greater than themselves." When Dick and Susie returned from their first trip to Malawi, we could sense their great desire to do more for the country. My daughter and I returned with them the next year. We saw first hand the dedication they had in both spreading the gospel and bringing hope, healing, and aid to the Malawians. This was the beginning of a great continuing work, which is bearing great fruit for the kingdom and exemplifying that their hearts are definitely lost in a Cause greater than themselves.

As neighbors to the Stephens' we have witnessed first had their devotion to the people of Malawi. Their story is inspirational and their selfless work unceasing. Whether working to improve the medical, educational, farming or just basic living conditions, they are tireless in their drive to do more. The Malawi Project is the example of what a Great Nonprofit is and should be.

In the past ten years The Malawi Project has shipped well over 1 1/2 million pieces of Christian literature, over 150 million dollars in medical aid, large shipments of agricultural goods, 8 farm tractors, thousands of school text books, over 3,000 wheelchairs, and millions of dollars in pharmaceuticals. These are distributed from one of our warehouses in Malawi to points all over the nation. It is a rather extensive network. Very low administrative cost. Thanks to all supporters in a number of nations who are making this work possible.

I highly recommend the Malawi Project, Inc. to anyone who is interested. I am a member of a different non-profit organization that also works in Malawi and have been very impressed by the work that the Malawi Project, Inc. has done and continues to do in Malawi. They are concerned with all aspects of the lives of the people in Malawi. They help with education, health care, agriculture and so much more. The Stephens are a couple who have worked very hard to help people in the US become aware of what life is like in Malawi and improve the lives of the people in Malawi. I thank God for them and their work.

I'm from Malawi I have known the Stephens since 1998. They're a blessing to Malawi, they work day and night making sure children and people of Malawi get medical help, clothes, food, disabled people have wheelchairs and you name it. They gave up their lives and dedicate everything they have to this charity. Words cannot explain what this organization is doing they're a good example of how we all should be in life. God bless Suzi and Dick.

It's been a bless to be able to support this great ministry! I first heard of this project from one of our friends in the church, and he has been supporting Dick and Suzi for a long time. I remember the first time I have heard about the kids there in Malawi and how their lives are, I couldn't help but break into tears. They have been making good use of the fund for those kids and for God. It's my pleasure to recommend this ministry to anyone who is interested.

I have had the pleasure of following the activities of this organization from its conception to the present day. The passion and dedication of these people is just amazing to me. And I have no doubt that Malawi has benefitted greatly from their help. From the warm hearts of the US to the warm heart of Africa.

The Malawi Project is definitely a bona fide, non-profit organization working with the people of Malawi to help themselves develop their nation. This Project was founded by Suzi and Dick Stephens 20 years ago and since that time a vast number of people in several nations have grasped their vision and joined this work. I have known of this work since 2012 when they helped me ship a collection of pencils to a new boarding high school being built in Malawi. Suzi and Dick's zeal is contagious and has incited many churches and others to get involved in procuring supplies for Malawi, such as books, pencils, soap and bandaids, bed linens and girls dresses, wheel chairs and even a number of farm tractors and agricultural drip systems. Both Suzi and dick's perseverance over these 20 years in spearheading this project is outstanding and the team of people who have become involved are to be commended. The Malawi Project is a best kept secret that needs to be made known far and wide from the roof tops to churches, businesses, government agencies and other organizations in order for them to get involved as well. These people work across all economic, religious and social lines in order to help the poor in Malawi. I highly recommend this organization to all.

When I first heard of Dick and Suzi working in the Malawi Project, I thought it was just like other charitable organizations in Malawi who seem to be good on paper and not on the ground. However, when I met them in person, our relationship seem as if we have ever met before some decades ago.

I saw how the Malawi project was saving lives of many vulnerable children and adults as they could help them with many supplies with food, clothes and medical supplies. I was impressed as the project aims for the locals to stand on their own feet in future by even training them in Agriculture activities and this has been possible mainly because those who serve in the project like Dick & Suzi are white when they are in America but here in Africa they are just Africans and when serving they do no look at religion, tribe, race or region thus why even here in the northern part of Malawi people have benefited through the provision of wheel chairs, clothes and now they will have a tractor to use in their gardens which they have ever had or dreamed to have it.

The Malawi Project is a top notch organization with a leadership that truly cares about the people of Malawi. They've gone the extra mile to insure their hospitals, schools, and children get needed supplies. Malawi agriculture has been aided through the innovative tractor designed by the Malawi Project and donated to the country of Malawi. A cost effective and unique design has provided for a wheelchair that allows the handicapped children and adults of Malawi to have hope. Everything from tools, pencils, and dresses for the little girls of Malawi have been collected and dispersed through the Malawi Project. This is an organization whose service has kept pace with their vision. The organization is a continued mission project that puts the country of Malawi ahead of people's agendas. Even the name attests to this. It is truly about Malawi and not those, who started the organization. Much praise should be given to Dick and Suzi Stephens for this, even though they do not want it. I highly recommend the Malawi Project to congregations in order to form a partnership. It truly is a partnership as they provide the opportunities for individuals and entire churches to get involved. There are so many ways to help and so many opportunities, that it gives Christians a way to utilize their spiritual giftedness.

I've learned a lot about the Malawi Project during my time working in Malawi, seeing firsthand the deep commitment of the organization to helping the people of this country.

From a professional viewpoint, I've been absolutely impressed with the efficiency of their operations - support gets into the hands of families and communities with minimal administrative costs. As important, the services provided by the Malawi Project are targeted in a cost-efficient and effective manner because of Dick and Suzi's in-depth understanding of Malawi. This level of knowledge about the critical needs and great potential of Malawi can only be achieved through the decades of service that these two have given - a true rarity in the aid and development world.

From a person viewpoint, I'm moved by Dick and Suzi's sincere desire to serve the people of Malawi. This sincerity is reflected in the tremendous effort they put into this organization, as well as their consistent track record of placing the needs of their clients above any other consideration.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the Malawi Project does next and will always hope to find ways to work more closely with this organization.

After Dick and Suzi visited our congregation in 2012 and informed us of various needs in Malawi, one of our families set about to engineer a drive to send textbooks and laptops to students in that African country. With the Austin school district donating some 34,000 textbooks, the church raised the funds ($37,000) to ship the books to Malawi. The drive also led to the donation of about 100 used laptops, which were refurbished for shipment to Malawi.

Dick and Suzi encouraged some of our members to travel to Malawi and see, first-hand, how these resources were being used. Six of our members made the journey in the summer of 2013, taking with us medical supplies to distribute among clinics and hospitals. We returned to the U. S. with several thousand completed Bible correspondence courses for processing by a team here in Austin.

Our team returned with something more as well--a deep affection for the kind and appreciative people of Malawi. Dick and Suzi meticulously arranged our 15-day sojourn within Malawi and accompanied us every step of the way. We interacted daily with a variety of folks, from faculty and students at a pair of preaching training schools to medical administrators and members of a number of churches in the country. We made optimal use of our time, distributing resources while witnessing firsthand the impact that textbooks, laptops, "baby packs," and medical supplies had with the people of Malawi. The team also had time to interact with the fascinating wildlife that help make the country so attractive to guests.

It is obvious that Dick and Suzi's work has had an indelible impact on the country--and its leadership. Countless people, and evangelistic efforts, have been helped through their tireless efforts to see that as many needs of the people as possible are addressed. They understand the people, and their personal interest in the well-being of Malawians--both medical and spiritual--is on display at every turn.

The Malawi Project was born out of love and compassion for the people of Malawi in the hearts of Dick and Suzi Stephens. I have known Suzi and Dick for over 25 years. Suzi and I worked together as nurses at an Indianapolis Hospital. While I am still there, she and Dick are being used for a greater good in the nation of Malawi. With hands-on help from the people themselves and with the expertise, guidance, and support of folks who care in the USA, lives are being changed and the entire country is benefiting in an amazing way. Malawians are a sweet people and many are personally involved in effecting positive change through the Malawi Project. There have been great accomplishments and there are more needs to be met. Read about what the Malawi Project is doing and hopes to do. You will fall in love with the people and will want to be an encouragement to them. Suzi and Dick are amazing in the sacrifices they have made over the years for this work. Their hearts and lives have been totally focused on this work and they have surrounded themselves with an awesome group of individuals that share the vision and the hope for the people of Malawi! They are reviving hope in the hearts of the people themselves. I cannot say enough! A very worthy cause!

I had the pleasure of working with Dick and Suzi a few years ago as they grew the nonprofit into the excellent organization it now is. They have a very good understanding of the needs in Malawi, as well as the realities and difficulties to providing adequate assistance. Their continued development of Malawian human resources as they provide charity is exemplary, and has set the foundation for continued successful interventions for country into the future. I believe they far exceed the efficacy and impact of many other nonprofits, and I whole-heartedly recommend them as a great nonprofit.

I learned about the Malawi Project about five years ago through Dick and Suzie Stephens. We found it to be a well run organization providing many opportunities for Churches to make donations to the country of Malawi, its children, and hospitals.

I have known Dick and Suzi for several years and their dedication to helping the people of Malawi. They started with supplies that we take for granted, like gloves, clean sheets and even beds to better serve these people. Every dollar given, but not only dollars and cents, but the donations of materials and supplies go directly to the Malawi Project effort of serving. There are not many nonprofits where the director is right in the middle of helping, rather than setting in an office and directing the work from there. Here is a project that helps the very basic needs of countries individuals.

I have learned a great deal about the country of Malawi and the needs of the people through my relationship with the Stephens and The Malawi Project. I continue to be amazed at the impact that this organization has had not only regionally, but on the entire country over the years. I like their philosophy that its more important to teach the people to fish for themselves rather than to fish for them. I also like the fact that The Malawi Project works with the people and are keenly aware and sensitive of the Malawi people's culture and they respect it by not offering American solutions to Malawian problem's. I like that The Malawi project works with the people to assist them in solving their own issues in their own way. The medical, educational and agricultural programs are exceptional and were developed with the concept of being self sustaining from the start and not to simply to supply aid and therefore the people become dependent on The Malawi Project rather then themselves.

The Malawi Project has been in existence now for almost 10 years. I personally know Dick and Suzi Stephens, originating founders of this ministry. In James, it says that "true religion is to visit orphans and widows in their distress" and this would fully characterize the efforts of many people on behalf of the Malawi people. If anyone would take a moment to look at the website, you'll find so many ways this small African Country has been helped - The Hospital and Clinic, the home for orphaned children of parents who've died from HIV, the Wheelchair manufacturing business, the agricultural program with the invention of the "community tractor" with help from business-people from the U.S. and around the world. I like this ministry because everything that is done by the Malawi people is not done once, but people work alongside each other to learn how to do something new and then their work is rewarded with more responsibility and trust. The efforts of the Malawi Project are sustaining because the work is indigenous. The Malawi people have tremendous pride in learning from the Project leaders and then doing more year after year on their own. Dick and Suzi also have done a tremendous job working with the local and national leaders so that this ministry will flourish and be sustained for years to come. God is glorified and honored in this small place. The Malawi Project is an example of mission work done very well.

I am very impressed by the many good things that have come through this project. And not only do they bring tons of medical aid; they partner with the locals and value their imput and seek to eqip them to become more productive. I know that when I make a donation to this important work that it is money well spent!

I have known Dick and Suzie Stephens for the last 5 years in different capacities, and I recommend Malawi Project inc as an extraordinary organization making a difference in lives of many Malawians - The Stephens are bright, conscientious, positive, responsible, visionary, and compassionate. They have unquestioned integrity and genuine empathy for our world especially Malawi. Dick is appropriately assertive, and able to make decisions comfortably and thoughtfully. The Malawi Project has changed lives of Malawians from north to south, by providing Medical clinics andSupplies,Wheelchairs,Clothings and Books.. Visit their website and support their projects.

I served as a missionary in southern Malawi from 2003 to 2011. While serving in that country, I had the pleasure of seeing the Malawi Project in action. Without a doubt this is one of the most outstanding ministries of Churches of Christ in Africa. I witnessed the distribution of tons of food to the hungry during times of famine, the donation of hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical equipment and supplies to dozens of clinics and hospitals across the country which before lacked even the basics, the care of homeless orphans who would otherwise have no hope at the beautiful Mtendere Village, and the compassion of that island of healing called Blessings Hospital with its brilliant and cheery sign above the front entrance offering loving care to a community in which decent health service is hard to find. All of these and the many other ministries of the Malawi Project were so successful because of the love and involvement of Dick and Suzi Stephens, the ministry's founders. It was exciting to see the Lord work through them as they traveled across the country, personally making sure that the Lord's love was being brought into action through the ministry and that goals were being met. We found this same spirit in others who served with the Malawi Project.

I met Dick and Suzi Stephens, the founders of Malawi project so many times since becoming a Hoosier in the mid 2005. As a Hoosier with a strong Malawi connection, I have always been impressed with their selfless and giving spirit. They always walk extra mile to have a very significant impact to the less fortunate people of Malawi. Apart from sending millions of dollars of aid and medical supplies, Dick and Suzi's presence, sacrifice, dedication and their regular visits to Malawi ( as they did last summer), have been immesurably insipiring and outstanding. Please continue to support them and this project as they continue to make effeorts to make a huge difference in people's lives over there.
May God continue to Bless and protect them all the time. And thank you to all people who support them and all those with intentions to begin....

When I first had the opportunity to meet Dick and Suzi Stephens, the founders of the Malawi Project, in the fall of 2011, I had no idea what a significant impact the Malawi Project has made on so many peoples' lives, both in Malawi and here in the United States. In fact, upon hearing their story and how the Malawi Project has been able to send millions of dollars of aid, particularly in medical supplies, and learning of all of the people that have visited and work done from numerous visits to Malawi, I knew this was an organization that was working both in their mission to support both the churches and people in Malawi as a whole, and I knew I had to find a way to help. Now, after devoting my Eagle Scout Project to the organization and to Malawi, I have had even more of an opportunity to work with the Malawi Project, and I must say, I am really impressed with everything the Malawi Project has been able to accomplish. What a fantastic organization that is doing great work.

Having worked with the Malawi Project Inc. for nearly 10 years, I can honestly say that they are doing great work in Malawi. Not only do they provide lifesaving food, medicines, medical supplies and basic necessities, they also are teaching thousands of individuals to be self sufficient. I have traveled to Malawi and visited their programs, and as I was flying home, I realized I was a changed person. The love and compassion shown by everyone associated with the Malawi Project touched my heart and renewed a fire in my soul. I knew then that I wanted to continue working to help those less fortunate. Their water projects, gardening projects, entrepreneur projects, educational projects and support of hospitals have impacted countless numbers of lives. Every individual receiving assistance is treated with respect and all donations are handled with honesty and integrity. I am proud to be a partner with this organization.

I am an Elder in one of the Mobile, Alabama Church of Christ congregations which has worked in Malawi for over 35 years as missionaries. We built a mission in Northern Malawi shortly after beginning this work and have had continuous involvement until the present. I have personally traveled to this mission and taught there during my three week trip in 1989. Throughout this time we have also assisted in helping Malawi citizens meet their physical needs, particularly during famines and floods.

We found the Malawi Project in one of these efforts. We observed that their humanitarian work was both outstanding and extensive. We contacted them and have been involved continuously with them from that time to the present. We now partner with them particularly in shipping to Malawi. I strongly support their efforts and recommend them for your consideration.

I traveled to Malawi in 2004 and 2007 and saw the plight of the people first hand. I can say from personal experience that the Malawi Project has had a great impact on many people there, so much so that the present president, The Honorable Joyce Banda, and the Mother of the nation, C. T. Kadzamira consider Dick and Suzi Stephens personal friends. They have a relationship and access very few people outside the government have.

The most vivid picture in my mind is the time we spent on a trip to village in the bush country south of the capital. We went there to see a village garden. It was the dry season when the only green plants were the trees. We walked about a hundred yards from the village through a field of brown grass and weeds, in dusty red soil, to a fence made of reeds. Looking over the fence was the village garden full of green plants. Rows of corn (maize) that was about six inches high, next to that was rows two feet high, and then rows that were just putting on ears of corn. Next were rows that was ready for harvest. It was the same for all of the plants in the garden. At the back of the garden was a hole in the ground the people had dug. It was about fourteen feet deep and ten feet across with three or four feet of water in the bottom. Before the Malawi Project gave them drip irrigation kits and taught them how raise food all year, some of their people would die of starvation in dry years. Now, not only can they feed themselves but also have food for others.

We have been on trips to Malawi, Mexico and El Salvador, but the people of Malawi have been helped more and appreciate it as much or more than anywhere we have been.

We will be willing to share more or answer any questions if we can. I can be contacted at; jerry.winstead@comcast.net

I have been associated with the Malawi Project from a time before there was a Malawi Project.
My best friend had chance to go to Malawi and began sending simple things he and his family could package together. Today the Malawi project continues to send the many needed item the poor of this small nation dearly need. The Malawi project is a little different from most not-for-profit organizations in that people are what makes the difference. A doctor may send unused medical equipment and a hospital will donate beds for use in clinics. A young child may involve his class to donate books and paper.

From this simple begining the Malawi Project has been able to provide millions in aid to the poor in a nation half a world away. If you have the chance visit the Malawi Project website you may find a way you can help someone that can truly use a hand.

My experience with the Malawi Project Inc. over the past ten years has been totally positive. The dedication, sacrifice, long suffering and integrity of this charity is proven in the results of millions of less fortunate Malawi people being fed, clothed, healed, educated and given hope for a brighter future for them and their country. The Malawi Project truly sees each Malawi person as an individual put on this earth for a special purpose and having the right to live with dignity within his or her own land. The amazing follow up on all donations and accountability to each donor and sponsor has made all involved feel very much a part of their mission in a personal way. Although I have had opportunities to work with other charities in helping the need in Malawi, The Malawi Project Inc. has proven to be the most reliable and gratifying in seeing our donated resources being used to the best end result.

We have been associated with the Malawi Project and it's leadership for well over 20 years. The Malawi Project is not only an encouragement to the Malawi people but to all associated with them. From the youngest child to the oldest adult one can participate in donating, volunteering, and supporting this ministry. We, too, are most impressed with the leadership and hard work in achieving the Ministry's goals.

We believe the best way to share the gospel of Jesus is to show love through attempts to meet people’s needs. Food programs, caring for orphan children, strengthening hospitals, etc. provide a valid backdrop for sharing the Great Good News of Jesus. The Malawi people know Christians through demonstrated love. In short, the Malawi Project demonstrates the values we share.

We have been partnering with the Malawi Project for the last several years. What I have been most impressed with the is hard work that goes into carrying out the goals of this ministry. Large amounts of effort are put into getting shipments located and sent over to countries like Malawi, and they do an excellent job of using the contributions they receive in a wise manner. These are wonderful people who have hearts to serve others.
