At Iris Malawi, we have rescued children who have no surviving parents or able guardians to care for them. They come home to live in a family with Malawian House Parents. 97% of fatherless and motherless children do not attend school in Malawi. However, Iris Primary School is making a small dent in that statistic for our children here in Southern Malawi.

Below you’ll find some thoughts from Joanna and David, written in late September. Writing from Joanna is in italics. David’s writing is in regular text. Hello to our faithful and prayerful friends! Both Mo and I have so valued your prayers. Never have either of us needed to depend on God so completely. I thought
Thursday, September 18th – we are getting our bore-hole drilled as I type. We were desperate for water at the Bible school. This hole will be adequate for the whole ministry site – including our home and other homes once they are built. I’m sure it is hard for people back home to imagine what
The Iris Africa Malawi property has grown significantly over the past eight years. We began developing in 2003 and we are thankful for the countless number of people who have contributed so generously with their prayers, counsel, finances, and labour. This past year we have been blessed with additional land adjacent to the west side
