Grace Center Economic Development Programs and Opportunities
Agriculture
Our gardens produce food for the orphanage and school program. We currently grow corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, soy beans, and a variety of vegetables.
In addition to crops, our agriculture team works in our local community to teach sustainable farming methods which restore the land and reduce the need for expensive chemical fertilizers.
Our future plans include expanding our training program to reach more local farmers with sustainable farming methods.
Maize Mill
Our maize mill provides an essential service in our community while producing a sustainable income for the Grace Center.
Maize is the primary food for Malawians. Families bring their maize to the mill to grind the maize into flour. They pay a fee to grind their maize.
Hands of Grace Textile Center
Hands of Grace Textile Center employs women from the local community to sew craft items to sell in the local shop. The women also tailor clothing to sell and make uniforms for school students.
Our future plans for the center include expanding our products and producing more items for sale internationally, as well as producing more clothing for sale locally.
Opportunities
We are always looking for people who are willing to go and help! That might be teaching a skill in the Textile Center, setting up solar systems or building dams.
