To

Providing Education Opportunities

There are many bright young minds, that are ready and willing to work diligently, with spirits that are longing to fulfill great purposes, but these longings are only dreams without an education. 

In Malawi, a staggering 93% of children do not finish secondary school. After primary school, education is no longer free in Malawi and the vast majority of families simply cannot afford to pay the fees, let alone the costs of educational materials and equipment.

Nurture Our World seeks out students that were at the top of their class in 8th grade and were sent home due to inability to pay their tuition. 

We find sponsors for these deserving students, making it possible for them to fulfill their dreams of a brighter future for themselves and their country.  

$70 a month places them in a boarding school, providing a place for them to live, food, and schooling!

Would you be willing to change a child’s destiny?  You will have a personal connection with the student you sponsor.

Every sponsor will receive their student’s picture, birthdate, background story, and progress update after each term.

It’s easy to join our efforts to change the trajectory of a child’s life.

Students’ Lives We Have Changed

Nurture Our World Secondary School Graduates

2017 Nurture Our World 

Puni University Honors Graduate

Joseph Chipokosa

I am Joseph Chipokosa, a Malawian young man. I completed my degree of International Business at Pune University, India, graduating First Class, “Honors of Distinction” June of 2017.  Here is the story of my college journey and how this gift of education has made it possible for me to help the people of my country.  

Upon the completion of my secondary schooling, Nurture Our World came into my life.  N.O.W. gave me financial support to study for my college entrance exams and the fees to take the exams.  My scores were very good and I was granted a scholarship to study agriculture at the University of Malawi.  N.O.W. supplied my living expenses during my first year at the University.  For my second year in college, I transferred to The Catholic University of Malawi where Nurture Our World continued to pay all of my financial needs including books, supplies, food, and living expenses. It was during this time that I heard about a scholarship being offered to 9 students from Africa.  I submitted my application and was very blessed to be chosen as one of the recipients.  My adventure to Pune India began as I entered my Junior year.  I excelled in my classes at Pune and graduated with honors in International Business in September of 2017. Throughout the course in India, Nurture Our World covered every single need apart from tuition and rent which was covered by the Indian Scholarship. Many thanks to Nurture Our World! I can’t even imagine being there and doing what I was able to do without their aid.
I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management- International Business with Honors from Pune University in India, (Oxford of the East) in September 2017.

Upon returning to Malawi, after graduation from Pune, I took a job selling rice which allowed me to build my grandparents a home, send my siblings to school, and run a youth ministry.  Nurture Our World appointed me Director of N.O.W. and put me in charge of overseeing activities.  I began searching secondary schools for students that were at the top of their class in 8th grade and were kicked out for inability to pay their tuition fees.  Nurture Our World then finds sponsors for these students, empowering them to achieve beyond the mediocrity walls.  

 

 

I have used my agricultural college education to work in training over 200 small-scale farmers, equipping them with business and technical skills that have made a huge improvement in their crops.  This past season I planted 5 acres of maize. The harvest produced 200, 110-pound bags of maize.  Nurture Our World purchased 150 of those bags of which 100 bags were shipped to Southern Malawi where over 500,000 people have been displaced and left hungry and 50 bags were sent to widows and orphans in need in other areas of Malawi.

In 2022 I asked Nurture Our World to help me create a much-needed medical clinic in our village.  I worked for months on obtaining licensing, the building, equipment, and staff, all funded by Nurture Our World.  We opened Kondhwa Medical Clinic on November 1, 2022!  It has become the medical facility that the villagers now depend on.

I am currently studying in an online program from Life Point Christian University in Glendale Arizona, for a Master’s Degree in Christian Ministry.   I will graduate in November 2023.  I once again want to thank Nurture Our World for arranging this opportunity and covering the financial obligations it requires for me to do this.   As soon as I complete my Masters Degree, I will start a Christian Ministry.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Nurture Our World for believing in me and for the huge role they made in giving me, a poor orphan boy from Malawi, this chance to become someone who can help make my country a better place for many. I am overwhelmed with the love and kindness that the Nurture Our World doner’s have shown me and I place all of the Nurture Our World partners in my prayers.

Born 8/16/1999, Andrew is an orphan brought up by his older brother.
He was hardworking and always at the top of his class.

Before he was awarded a N.O.W. scholarship he was behind on 3 terms of tuition. He would have been a dropout without the generous donations from our Nurture Our World sponsor, Dr. Bernadette Arnecke who sponsored him through grade 11 and 12.

He passed the Malawi National Senior Secondary Exam so well that he won admission to one of the top Universities in Malawi, The Malawi University of Science and Technology where he studies science.

Judy Johnson, his Nurture Our World sponsor, stepped in paid his delinquent fees, and sponsored him until he graduated.

“I always thank Judy for always being such a good person as she has made my life to be so happy.  May the Good Lord always bless you Judy.”

Joel Phiri

Joel had just one more semester to complete in order to graduate with his college degree.  Financial difficulties overwhelmed him and he was forced to drop out of school and not finish.  Then Nurture Our World heard of he hardship and went to work to find him a sponsor.  

Pat McNeill, a retired science teacher from Pennsylvania, was told about Joel’s plight.  Years ago, when she was finishing college, she had found herself in the same predicament as Joel.  She was sitting in the administration office, awaiting her expulsion due to her inability to pay her tuition when a lady sitting next to her, heard of her problem.  The lady immediately went and paid for Pat’s fees for the entire rest of her college.  So when Pat heard of this opportunity to help Joel, she jumped at the chance to help.  Because of her, Joel is now a graduate with a good-paying job.   Joel sends his love and gratitude for her and says she is always in his prayers!

I hope this note finds you well.  I just thought of saying Thank You for the generous hand towards my education. I can possibly not thank you enough for this great responsibility.  My mother is equally grateful!  Know that we do not take it for granted.  Take Care.
