Coordinator: Minister Maate Yubu
Project: WeRemnant JRaq Orphanage, Nursery and Primary School outside of the refugee camp in Muhokya
Update: Greetings in JESUS’ Name. WeRemnant school and orphanage are doing well. The students have been on holidays, and we are going to begin schooling on the 5th of February this year. The orphans are well also and have not experienced any sickness that is strong, except some malaria for few orphans.
Accomplishments/Testimonies: WeRemnant is doing so great! There has been a great improvement with the orphans; they have achieved and completed the first phase of Bible study; now they can read, write, and share with each other. There is also achievement in reception of new clothes that were received today. There has been academic improvement seen amongst the students; performance in class is improving greatly. The teachers are thankful for their salaries from WeRemnant.
Issues: The toilet in the school has broken and needs to be reconstructed. We need to purchase land for the school and school construction. The orphans have grown old and the uniforms we purchased for them no longer fit them, including shoes and open shoes. We request funds to purchase additional uniforms, shoes, and open shoes. We need scholastic materials such as desks for orphans since we are going to have the next class. We are also requesting funds to pay for license for operation for 2024.
Follow up: We have done all the activities of the school and supervised the students with teachers and supporting staff. Every child is being monitored and cared for well.
Next 90 days: We need to make renovations of the orphans’ toilet at school. Scholastic materials like desks, seats for teachers and learners, need to be purchased. The purchasing of school land needs to take place.

Country Coordinator: Joseph Murgerwa
Project: Smile at Home
Update: We have really had a good beginning to the year. The children have been healthy, thank GOD! We intend to end this project this year as earlier communicated until we find a home for all the children. It has been difficult taking care of them at the foster homes.
Accomplishments/ Testimonies: The children are healthy and doing well.
Issues: As communicated earlier we will be ending this program and looking for a space to house all the children under our care.
Next 90 days: Looking for a way to move our children out of the homes of the host families that are not Biblically sound. We need a new space to put the children.

Coordinator: Bishop Caleb Wanjala
Project: Building Church-Schools, Providing Electricity in Remote Villages, and Digging Sustainable Wells in Remote Villages and Refugee Camps
Project Update: Students have successfully reported back to school, and they are ready to proceed with their education.
Accomplishments: The students are now back from break and are excited about the new school year. We are excited about the growth we are seeing also.
Issues: We are looking forward to the renovation of the classrooms.
Next 90 days: Due to the growing population in the school, we will need to construct new classes that will accommodate our learners.

Malawi
Coordinator: Lois Grant
Project: Nsalu and Lumbadzi Baby Rescue
Project Update: I visited one site in Nsalu ECD. I only purchased a bit of maize from my finances to feed the kids for a few weeks and the teacher’s salaries. (Only two are remaining now for the 30 toddlers.)
Accomplishments: We have been having our continuous Bible studies. We visited an orphanage in Blantyre on Christmas Day.
Issues: I am suggesting to WeRemnant that, moving forward, it would be good if WeRemnant purchased land here in Malawi where we could use it to grow crops to sell and give some to the families. The guardians are happy to work on the land if it is available and I prefer it this way because we also want to empower them to be self-sustainable and discourage the spirit of dependency.
Next 90 days: I think this would help WeRemnant to focus on other projects as well if Malawi could self-sustain. I thought this would be ideal because of the fertile soils and water access.
