WHO WE ARE
Mthunzi is the Chichewa word for “Shelter”
At Mthunzi Ministries, we walk alongside children and youth who have experienced life on the streets of Malawi. We believe that every child deserves to be seen, loved, protected, and given a chance to thrive.
We are based in Blantyre and reach out to street-connected children with practical help, long-term support, and God’s love — one child, one story at a time.
"No child is lost. No situation is hopeless. We exist to restore dignity and hope to children who have been forgotten, rejected, or left behind."
WHAT WE DO
Our Programs
Street Outreach
We meet children where they are — on the streets. With food, first aid, a listening ear, and care, we build trust and open the door to a new path.
Mthunzi Boys Centre
A residential center for boys who have lived on the streets — a place to learn, eat, play, grow, and know they belong.
Safe Homes for Girls and Women
Our residential program offers protection, healing, and a family-like environment for vulnerable girls and women, with a focus on education, counselling, and faith.
Back to School
We help children return to school and stay in school — with uniforms, school fees, tutoring, and daily encouragement.
Nursery & Early Childhood Education
We run a nurturing nursery school for the youngest children — building strong foundations through play, love, and learning.
Prison Outreach
We visit and support minors in prison — bringing hope, reintegration support, and reminding them they are not forgotten.
Vocational Training
As the children grow up and need to support themselves as adults, we support them to develop skills that can help them to be self-sustaining and contribute to the community around them.
