Training Center in Malawi: The Warm Heart of Africa
This multifunctional training center enables people to rise out of poverty and work towards a hopeful future. The center offers employment, education for children, and various training opportunities!
A Center for Everyone
Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world. Despite abject poverty, hunger and adversity, the people are good-natured and resilient. Malawi has one of the youngest and fastest growing populations in Africa. No less than 46% of the inhabitants are under 14 years of age.
On the one hand this poses a challenge, but on the other, there are also opportunities to reshape this poverty-stricken country. This is the reason why the training center has something for everyone: children can go to school on the site, farmers who receive training, and local people who come to work at the center.

Village Development
Our objective is to offer the people who live in the area (about 21 villages with 12,000 inhabitants) a chance to rise out of poverty in a sustainable way. Tree of Life has been involved with its partner, ‘Stand as One’ since 2019. A training center for village development is being built on the site.
What do we do?
The training center offers:
- a place where regular meetings can be held for trainers and students to foster relationship growth and stewardship and also offer training in sustainable agriculture;
- a family center with permaculture garden. Mothers with babies and young children gather here for educational mornings, where everyone gets a fresh piece of fruit. The family center includes a library, where youth come to read and play after school;
- a community garden where we provide employment opportunities and give young people the chance to grow more than just corn. People can learn how to grow different kinds of vegetables here;
- a demonstration garden: trainees not only see the effect of applying the farming principles but they also get on-the-job training. This practical approach ties in with the way of learning in Malawian culture;
- a church community: a spiritual home for believers and staff members;
- a guest house: accommodation for volunteers, interns and guests.
Missionaries
The team in Malawi is running independently as of July 2024. Local leaders have taken over from Deon and Sarah.
With remote guidance and coaching, these top leaders lead various components, such as cow management, forestry field maintenance, finance, children’s work and more!
