Passion Center For Children

$
The Passion Center for Children grew out of a deep concern for the vulnerable children of Malawi and their communities. Known as the “warm heart of Africa,” this beautiful country is staggering—under the growing weight of HIV/AIDS, poverty and disease—which is stealing the futures of the most vulnerable…orphans, widows and entire communities.

Operating as a dynamic partnership, The Passion Center for Children is committed to making a real difference in these communities. This is a partnership between dedicated Malawian believers and individuals, churches, and concerned groups in the United States.

In Malawi, The Passion Center for Children is a nationally registered organization, led by Pilira Chibwana, the Executive Director and his dedicated Malawian staff. In the United States, the Passion Center for Children is recognized as a tax exempt non-profit organization with a board of directors providing accountability and leadership. This initiative is open to all who are motivated by God and desire to help orphans, widows and their communities in the name of Jesus Christ.  As you can imagine, the need is great, and the mission is critical.

The Passion Center provides permanent residency for approximately forty orphaned children. They also provide one meal per day for nearly 250 children from the surrounding villages.  Not only does the Passion Center staff actively house, feed, and educate the “Passion Kids” but they travel out into the villages to serve the community. One segment of the Zomba District population requiring immediate attention is the child-headed households. 

Child-Headed households are homes where the local government recognizes a child 12-18yrs of age as the head of the household - usually due to the death of the parents. Seventeen child-headed households are being sponsored through the Passion Center and several generous donors. But over 400 child-headed households have been identified in Zomba alone. 

Thank you for your participation in the race, and support of the Passion Center for Children!

Six themes guiding the activities of the Passion Center for Children

Love for Life – Creating a warm, loving environment where children can experience the healing power of God’s grace and learn about Jesus.

Health for Life – Helping children grow up healthy and strong by providing the most basic needs such as food, clothing, medical care, education, etc.

Skills for Life – Expanding opportunities for orphans and children at risk to receive primary, secondary and university education and providing access to quality vocational training.

Empowerment for Life – Equipping children with the grace, compassion, truth, and wisdom of God so that they will become valuable members in their community and future leaders in their country.

Belonging for Life – Fostering strong, healthy community ties in order to remove the stigmatism associated with AIDS and to ensure the children’s full participation as valuable members of the greater community.

Knowledge for Life – Improving the quality of education by training and empowering teachers and administrators. Training and equipping community volunteers to help meet the spiritual, physical and medical needs within their community.

Your participation in our Run with Passion 5k will help re-build homes recently destroyed by flooding in the Zomba region, as well as provide basic necessities for many in the community.  Our inaugural race last June provided over $8,000 direct support for the Passion Center Children.
