Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with over half the population living below the poverty line and one in ten being orphans. The Timotheos Foundation, founded and led by Malawians, works in rural communities to share the Gospel and provide food, education, clothing, and medical care to vulnerable children.
Timotheos USA has helped build a childcare center, drill a well, and sponsor orphans in Nyamitutu, Malawi, while also supporting food distribution, agricultural training, and literacy programs.
🎯 100% of proceeds go directly to the Timotheos Foundation
Activities include:
Hay rides, mini excavator, canvas-balloon painting, cookie decorating, face painting, horse rides, bounce house (for younger children), fish pond, tie-dying, baked goods for sale, silent auction baskets, and yard games.
Cost: Your generous donation

Fall Tour with Florus & Janneke
Join us for an evening with Florus and Janneke, who are serving with the Timotheos Foundation in Malawi. Janneke oversees daily operations and supports leadership as Manager of Operations, while Florus manages the maintenance of buildings and grounds across eight locations. Together, they play a vital role in creating a safe and well-organized environment where vulnerable children and youth can grow and learn. Enjoy dessert and a short presentation as they share about their work and the impact being made in Malawi.
New Pilot Project
We are excited to launch a pilot program in Malawi, giving young graduates the opportunity to gain practical skills for a brighter future. Through short vocational courses—such as mobile phone repairing, motorcycle repairing, hairdressing/barbering, tailoring, and hospitality & tourism—students receive both classroom training and hands-on internships. Tuition, accommodation, and living costs are fully covered, and most graduates will receive a starter pack to begin their own business. This life-changing program will equip 14–18 students with the tools they need to succeed, at a total cost of $10,000–$15,000.
All proceeds from the Fall Tour in the USA will go directly to this pilot program.
