Malawi Children’s Mission was formed in 2007 to serve orphaned and vulnerable children in Malawi, Africa.
History
In 2007 Steven Koffman and Sean Robinson formed MCM to help address the growing crisis facing orphaned & vulnerable children in Malawi, Africa. Working with local partners and the Malawian Ministry of Social Affairs, MCM was established near the neediest of villages in the Lirangwe area of Southern Malawi.
Mission
Create conditions in which Malawi’s orphans can thrive. Life for many orphans is about surviving the day. But we believe orphans deserve more. Our focus is providing an environment in which a child can develop potential and a future. That orphans will discover their ability to make a positive difference in their own community.
Vision
That the orphans we serve will impact Malawi. We see a future where every orphan has a unique life-path. We will empower leaders who take MCM’s mission as their own – launching young adults into their communities to create lasting change.
Restoring Dignity

Our approach to restoring dignity in local communities starts by doing Good Works, which lead to Good Will and allow us to deliver Good News – that orphans have value and a purpose.
