LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Home of Hope Orphanage in Mchinji, Malawi, has taken in four children who were abandoned by their mother five years ago in Ekwendeni.

The children, Patience Witness, 1, twins Miracle and Joseph Nkhata, 16, and Agnes Nkhata, 19, had been cared for by Agnes since she was just 14 years old after their father passed away and their mother remarried.

Agnes, who had been shouldering the responsibility of caring for her siblings, was forced to drop out of school after falling pregnant in 2025.

The case was brought to light by Pastor Daisy Munthali of Kairos Foundation, who reported the situation to the authorities, leading to the children’s rescue.

Patience and the twins are now safely settled at Home of Hope Orphanage, receiving the care and support they need.

Agnes, on the other hand, will have the opportunity to resume her education in Mzuzu, thanks to the intervention of the orphanage and social welfare services.

Mchinji District Social Welfare Officer Emmanuel Gervazio has commended the intervention, highlighting the importance of community support in protecting vulnerable children.

Home of Hope Orphanage, founded by Rev Thomson Chipeta, has a long history of providing care and support to orphaned and vulnerable children in Malawi.

The orphanage provides a range of services, including education, healthcare, and vocational training, to help children achieve their full potential.

Rev Chipeta’s vision for Home of Hope is to create a loving and supportive environment where children can thrive and grow.

The orphanage relies on donations and support from well-wishers to continue its vital work in the community.
