Malawi Project Inc

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.

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.

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..

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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!

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.

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.
