Faith that Shapes Futures

In Makhanga, Malawi, a Bible Club supported by World Vision meets weekly, bringing children together for scripture reading, verse recitation, songs, poems, and group discussions. These sessions encourage discipline, positive behaviour, and a stronger focus on education.

For 16 year old Elube, the club marked a turning point. After a period of irregular school attendance and lost focus, she found renewed motivation. “The Bible Club made me realise I was wasting my time away from school,” she reflects. Today, Elube attends lessons regularly and is thinking more about her future. “I have changed a lot. Now I am back at school because of the support I received.”

14-year-old Annette shares a similar story. “Before, I was not serious about school, and I used to miss classes for no reason. Now I attend classes regularly and I am focused on learning so that I can achieve my dream of becoming a doctor.”

Bible Club leader Dickson Chisoni explains how the programme is shaping children’s lives. “We are seeing positive changes among the children. Those who had stopped going to school are coming back, and others are improving in how they relate with their families and teachers,” says Chisoni.

Since 2023, World Vision Malawi has helped establish 10 Bible Clubs in the area, reaching children with structured activities that nurture learning, discipline and personal growth. More than weekly gatherings, these clubs have become safe spaces where children rediscover hope, responsibility, and the value of education.
