Bringing hope to Malawi

Trips & Volunteers

BCV LOVE VOLUNTEERS are impacting Malawi! All of the past volunteers that we have taken in the past came from incredible teams from all over the world. They help meet their spiritual and physical needs with food and supplies including medical supplies, school supplies, clothes and hygiene products. While they are in Phalombe, our BCV LOVE Volunteers support the local team that daily cares for the vulnerable children of Phalombe with exciting and fun messages from scripture, educational lessons, daily feedings, and inspiring and creative activities. Check out some of the things we’ve been able to do with the support and involvement of people all over the world.

LOVE. The Bwanali-Chipole Victory, Inc. Volunteer Program
Our Program
BCV LOVE is the volunteer program which allows individuals and groups to play instrumental roles in carrying out the mission of BCV during their time sacrificed in Phalombe, Malawi.
Our mission is to empower, inform, inspire and educate the children of Malawi to make life decisions that combat the spread of HIV/AIDS within their community and deal with the issues of early deaths, poverty, parentlessness, hunger, disease and homelessness.

Each program is a unique experience, tailored to YOU. We offer you a chance to go somewhere miles away from anything remotely familiar except the hearts and lives of people.

Our Current Project

Justin Weimer Boys & Girls Dormitory Project

We are currently in the process of constructing a facility that will house 112 boys & girls upon completion.  This will be a way for us to keep some of our children we serve overnight as we currently do not have the resources.  We have already begun working with the local and national government and have begun the screening process so that we select those children who are most in need of housing.  Through the use of birth certificate records and other documents and agencies we can better identify those children.  We are fortunate to have the support and help of the social welfare offices as we work with them through this process.

Upon completion, the structure will be comprised of two parallel ranch style buildings that will house 56 girls per building.  Each building will have dormitory style housing for the children.  Four children per room.  We will have full time resident matrons as well for each building address the needs of the children, security measures, and other aspects pertinent to the long term sustainability of the building.
