Children in Need of Sponsorship
Precious
Precious is an ambitious 18 year old graduating from Form 4. Her parents are very poor farmers who live in a remote village. Most of her friends have already married and because of this, Precious’ parents have sent her to live with an aunt, hoping she will find better opportunities to get an education. Her dream is to study accounting and become a bank manager.
Precious has worked hard to put herself through school. Early on we supported her transportation, then because she was excelling in her studies and we wanted to give her a better chance we found a way to put her into boarding school with our other learners. However, Precious will need a sponsor for university. She is an amazing young woman full of joy and the spirit of the Lord.
Efron
Efron and his four siblings live with their grandmother. His father passed away and his mother remarried. The stepfather did not accept any of the children, which left them to fend for themselves.
Efron is very outgoing and has a sense of humor. He loves playing soccer and reading books. He is very curious to go to school, however, he has missed many classes due to a lack of funds. He and his siblings often go to bed hungry as the grandma does what she can to raise funds to feed, cloth and educate the kids.
Christina L.
Christina is a bright and determined student recently accepted to a very good secondary school. She has faced immense challenges, losing both parents, and is currently living with a relative who can only support her through occasional piecework. Her mother’s older sister, who previously cared for her, is incapacitated due to a long-term illness. Christina is now living with a mother’s cousin, who cannot afford Christina’s school fees. Despite her hardships, Christina excels academically and is eager to continue her education.
We are praying for God to send a sponsor for Christina so she can continue her education.
Hannah
Hannah is a dedicated and hardworking young woman with a strong desire to pursue higher education and create a brighter future for herself and her family. She grew up in a humble home. Her father previously served as a security guard, but after a serious car accident, he now struggles to walk and has been unable to return to work. This unexpected tragedy placed a heavy financial burden on the family.
Hannah’s mother does what she can to support the household by selling tomatoes. While her income helps cover food staples for the family, it is not enough to meet the family’s full needs—especially school-related expenses.
A sponsorship would provide Hannah with the opportunity to pursue her education, break the cycle of poverty, and realize the future she has worked so hard toward. She is deeply motivated, grateful for every opportunity, and determined to make the most of any support she receives.
Ireen
Ireen is 15 and in Form One. She likes to read, pray and watch movies. She wants to be a nurse. Ireen lost her father at a young age. She is raised by her mother and grandfather. Her mother does not work and her grandfather is a peasant farmer. Paying for school fees is very difficult and they have reached out to MHM for help.
Mcdaff
Mcdaff’s mother had him when she was a teenager, therefore the father denied him. Mother has since remarried and the boy is being raised by his elderly grandfather, who does piece work when he can find it for food. He can not afford fees for school. Mcdaff is a very good student and wants to be a soldier. He loves football and movies.
Enala
When Enala came to us she was 15-years-old and in grade 7. When told that she and her brothers were all going to be sponsored she broke down in tears. They were staying in a shelter down by the river, which recently flooded so their sheets were mud-soaked and not salvageable. They left with only the clothes on their backs. She is now a strong leader in our choir with a beautiful voice and does well in school. Enala’s sponsor had to back out, so we need a new sponsor for her in order to keep her in school and thriving. She is now in form 4 and absolutely amazing!
Patience G.
Patience is a 6-year-old with a big personality. She loves to read and play games. Currently, she and her sister are not attending school due to a lack of fees. Her father, a minister, was paralyzed four years ago and his wife carries him as needed. He was relieved of his duties at the Prespetyrien church and now the family has no income. The financial and psychological toll this family is shouldering is great. We would like to find a sponsor for Patience so she can attend school regularly.
Matthias
Matthias is 15 and going into Form 1. His mother passed away while in church in August 2024 due to cardiac arrest. He is staying with his elderly, sick grandmother, she does not have fees for his education. He loves football and reading and would like to be a lawyer. He is very sad about all of the immediate changes and losing his mother.
Beatrice M.
Beatrice is now in university and is a very good student. She is looking forward to becoming a civil engineer.
Beatrice was sponsored during secondary school, however her sponsor is no longer able to support her. Beatrice needs a sponsor to continue her studies. Please help this amazing young woman reach her goals.
Christina
Christina is the fifth born in a family of six. Two of her older sisters got married while they were still in secondary school. Her two older brothers dropped out of school. Her father is absent and Her mother sent her to live with her sister-in-law to save her from early marriage and give her a chance to be educated.
The aunt Christina stays with is a single mother and has responsibilities with her own children. Before being sponsored through Myrtle House Ministries, Christina was attending evening classes in one of the secondary schools because the fee was more affordable. Christina is very intelligent and stands a better chance of progressing academically, given the right environment.
Christina is in university and has worked very hard to get here.
Yilinase
Yilinase came to us as a 16-year-old orphan, she is now in university. She lives with her grandmother, who is old and weak, and her two younger siblings. Her older siblings dropped out of school and married. Her grandmother cannot make enough money for her school fees so she was sent away from school and is just staying at home. As an organization, we were able to support her during secondary school, but now that she is in university, she needs a sponsor to support her school fees. She is a very amazing, dedicated young lady who likes reading books and hanging out with friends. She would like to become a journalist. She wants to make a difference in life and impact her community.
Iness
Teachers spoke of Iness's great potential, but despite that, she was sent home from school due to a lack of ability to pay her school fees. Iness is a double orphan who lives with her grandmother. Along with the hardship of paying for school she was also traveling a long-distance to get there. Walking 18 km every day only to be sent back if she can not pay her fees.
When Iness came to us, she was 15 years old and in Form 1. Unfortunately, Iness’s sponsor had to back out, so she is again in need of a sponsor. She has worked very hard and is now heading to university! This timing is critical in the life of a female Malawian. Being sponsored will help Iness tremendously and save her from the threat of early marriage.
Terrina
Terrina’s family is in deep poverty and she is not in a good environment to be educated. She often stops by our offices to ask for money for food and school supplies. Terrina wants to be a nurse and enjoys netball and reading.
