Currently we have completed a girls and boys dormitories in 2014 and 2015. The dormitories house 4 house mothers as well as 20-24 children each. A dorm for the girls and one on the other side of the campus for the boys.
In between will be a large kitchen area for the family to eat together and to worship together. Built in 2014/15.
We hope to place mission team huts for future mission teams to come on site as well as a administration building (foundation currently built) for the administration of the work that God will continue to unfold.

The Agape Orphanage Foundation is a registered charitable Christian foundation dedicated to care for orphaned children in Malawi with God as our foundation and Jesus Christ as our cornerstone.
Transforming a child’s life one day at a time helps build tomorrow. We equip them with life skills and development to transition them into adulthood and to become leaders in their communities. As well we provide a sense of belonging and community through creating a loving family environment at our home.
Our work continues to have a powerful impact not only on the children under our care, but also on the larger community as a whole. We provide a sense of dignity and support for the staff by training and educating them for daily life at the center.
Our praise report is that we have purchased land by Msundwe approximately 40 minutes out of the capital city of Lilongwe. On these 15 acres a lot of work and construction has been going on for many months to move the family onto the land in time for them to attend their new school in September. So far we have built 2 dorms, separating girls from boys with house mothers living in each dorm. We are completing the kitchen, which will be the communal center of their gathering for meals and worship.
