Life Abundantly
Our Vision
Our vision is to transform death, disease and despondency with Life, Health and Hope. Replacing the root causes of current humanitarian issues with lifesaving, practical and lasting solutions by:
Eradicating malnutrition, providing safe clean water, equipping families to become self sufficient through better farming and providing hygienic ablution facilities that don't re-contaminate water sources.
Empower families to succeed. Restore and maintain dignity and ownership.
Provide local support in the form of mentor-ship, Christian counselling, basic health training.
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God demands a radical transformation of living conditions in that beautiful nation, one village at a time; not by providing endless handouts, but by promoting self capability through mentor-ship, enablement and participation.
It is the very reason why Jesus came:
I have come that they might have Life,
and that they might have it more Abundantly

Searching for water six hours a day and carrying it in containers that can weigh up to 44 pounds.
You did not know when your next meal was going to be.
You needed medical attention and there was none.
Contaminated water, unsustainable farming, and nutritional deficiencies fuel disease, poverty, and child deaths. Many women die from malnutrition, leaving orphans, while half the population suffers from food insecurity.
Eradicating Malnutrition
Bad farming practices & lack of resources leave many destitute with no hope of improvement.
Using Sustainable Tools
Develop practical tested repeatable processes through training and mentorship.
To Give Life
Families are mentored and enabled to “fish” for themselves, cultivating ownership, empowerment & knowledge so that they can share with their community.
Eradicating Disease
Rural people have to walk more than 1km to access clean and safe water. In Sub-Saharan Africa, 43 per cent of children drink unsafe water and one in five die before their fifth birthday.
Using Sustainable Tools
Easy to use water filter systems that removes 99.9% of bacteria.
For Clean Water
Clean water improves and saves lives. Something we take for granted can make a big difference in the lives of those in rural areas.
Eradicating Disease
892 million people worldwide practice open defecation, meaning they go outside – on the side of the road, in bushes or rubbish heaps.
Using Sustainable Tools
Provide proper and hygienic ablution facilities that best suit their environment.
For Safe Facilities
Toilets save lives! Without toilets, deadly diseases spread rapidly. Our goal is to provide safe and hygienic facilities to rural communities.
Reaching a broken world
Life Abundantly is driven by a single goal; coming alongside the helpless and hopeless to replace death with life.
By Spreading the Gospel
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." This is why an essential part of our ministry is to spread the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ.
And Continued Discipleship
Provide local support in the form of mentor-ship and Christian counselling for new Christians so they may grow in their faith and continue in their journey of becoming fishers of men.
About us
Who we are
A few very ordinary people called by God to partner with Him to make a difference in the lives of people trapped in poverty, disease and hopelessness.
We are totally reliant on the love and direction of God the Father, the Grace of the Lord Jesus and the enablement of the Holy Spirit to implement His vision.
We are passionate to implement the love and compassion of God by coming alongside the helpless and hopeless to replace death and despair with Life, Hope and the ability to Prosper.
Oversight consist of two serving teams; One providing oversight and raising funds in the USA, and a leadership committee in Malawi, managing various teams & administering the implementation of the vision "on-the-ground".
But.... without your help and involvement we cannot succeed!
You can make a difference!
