In response to the education needs around the Dzalanyama Village of Lilongwe, Life Coaching Ministries Malawi began to offer various academic programs in 2019. Afterschool Program is one of them. This program seeks to improve the academic performance of children in their subject areas of study and to provide guidance and extracurricular activities through tutoring, feeding program, Bible studies, counseling, and recreation. The results of the Afterschool Program are extensive. More children are now able to pass examinations and complete elementary school in our target community. However, the challenge remains at how then they will proceed to high school because secondary education is not free in Malawi. Already most of these are children that come from families living on less than a dollar per day. Therefore most children still are forced by circumstances to drop out and marry while young just because they have no next hope. But now Life Coaching Ministries provides Hope for both girls and boys who are living in poverty to excel with their education in order to become responsible citizens and the people that God destined.
