Building lost roof in high winds.
"During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. [This happened during the reign of Claudius.] The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers in Judea. This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul." Acts 11:27-32
Proverbs 31:8-9 exhorts us: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
Dear Friends,
We believe that there is a Scriptural precedent and injunction for making known the needs of those who are part of the same Body of Christ, but who are unable to make their needs known themselves.
We are a Faith-based organisation situated at Msema village, in Traditional Authority Kaduya, in the Phalombe district of Malawi.
The famine and poverty situations in Malawi and the entire South-Central region of Africa are increasingly worse. Within a couple of years, the difficulties have been compounded by the floods that often accompany the rainy season. What was a needy situation has now becoming desperate.
You cannot affect all of Africa, but you can reach out to one village where there is a church that is trying to live as a testimony to the redeeming power of Jesus Christ. Food is available in the cities, but these people live in the rural areas where many do not even possess currency; most trading is still done by barter methods. Many orphans are sick and starving, wearing ragged clothes, etc.
"Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality." 2 Corinthians 8:13.
"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered." Proverbs 21:13.
Searchlight Orphan Care centre was established in 2002. It has managed to serve the needy community through local contributions. After seeing that all orphans in our area were not helped, we decided to establish an orphanage. We have two care centers, one at Msema village and another at Kalinde both in Phalombe district. We are now caring for 40 orphans. We are operating in the very remotest areas here in Phalombe where most of the orphans are ignored. And we hope to increase the number when get financial support.
Some of our day to day activities are:
[a] Providing early childhood development support for the orphans, vulnerable, disabled and malnutritioned children under five and years of age through daycare nursery education,feeding schemes,relief aid and nutrional supplement. [b] Providing Community Home Based Care programmes to the chronically ill, disabled,old aged and all HIV/AIDS affected and infected people. [c] To support widows and caregivers for families affected by HIV/AIDS,through income generation,obtained from committes, local contributions and from our local garden. [d] To propagate HIV/AIDS awareness messages to the communities. [e] To provide school cost sponsorship and domestic needs to the orphaned children aged between 6 and 18. [f] To provide vocational skills training courses in eg carpentry. [g] To provide relief/development services and environmental conservation activities eg tree planting.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The community established Searchlight Orphan Care Centre because of the following crucial circumstances faced:
[a] Increased death rates of people especially aged below 49 due to HIV/AIDS infections, and children under five years old due to malnutrition. [b] Increased number of orphans,vulnerable,underprivileged and malnutritioned,due to HIV/AIDS pandemic. [c] Increased tendencies of depriving orphans and widows of their rights through property grabbing,child abuse through child labour,which often result into child sex coercing,drug abuse etc.and which will finally bring discomfort,starvation and extreme poverty on the HIV/AIDS affected families or households. [d] Increased number of widows/widowers,chronically ill and needy cares for orphans. [e] Stigma,rejection and deprivation on the HIV/AIDS affected/infected people,by the community,caregivers,or relatives. [f] Failure of orphans to continue with education due to the lack of school cost assistance.
OUR NEEDS:
FIRST MAJOR NEED:
There we plead with you to help us with finances to build this big home. It would cost the total of US$40,000 to build large orphanage, and equip it with beds, mattress, blankets, furniture, etc. The price also includes builders wages, brick buying and transport costs.
SECOND NEED:
We feel it is not good to keep on begging all the years, we need to have an income generating activity that will raise money for teachers pay, feeding orphans, buying clothes, etc. Therefore we plead with you to help us with US$10,000 to buy an electric maize mill and start a goat rearing project in the village. These projects will give much money to our organization and we will be self reliant one day
THIRD NEED:
We need to get support of US$500 per month to run our Mothers and Babies Craft Centre at Msema village.
FORTH NEED:
We have build a school for orphans in the village , but we are failing to employ teachers to teach the orphans due to lack of money. It is our vision for this school to have sewing machines, type writers etc..
We therefore need US$5,000 to buy school equipment uniform for orphans, buy books , exercise books, pencils, pens, etc.
Searchlight Orphan Care is meeting crucial situations in order to serve the needy status of HIV/AIDS affected/infected communities due to lack of material and financial resources for the day to day services.
Be assured that your funding shall relieve,save lives and bring better and self-reliant future to the needy communities affected by HIV/AIDS.
We also can use volunteers who would like to travel to Malawi to help us. If you are interested in coming to Malawi, please email Stephanie at Seven-Fold.org. She can get you the information you need.
