Zambia Project June 2024

Overview

Join Maranatha in Zambia and help us to build an Education and Evangelism Center (EEC) next to the Mwami Adventist Hospital, 18 miles from Chipata, Eastern Zambia. The EEC is our largest structure, and Maranatha has built more than 100 of these school buildings around the world.

In 1925, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Africa acquired a farm of 3,035 acres, on which the Mwami Mission Station was established. The farm had three streams, good soil, and pastureland that could support a small herd. It used to be a tobacco farm and had many of its original brick buildings. Some of these buildings were run down, but contained 200,000 good bricks that were used to construct new mission buildings. The Mwami Adventist Hospital was later established there, as an extension of the medical missionary work conducted at Malamulo Mission in Malawi. Mwami is located 30 kilometers southeast of Chipata, the capital city of the Eastern Province of Zambia. The mission was named after the Mwami stream, which flows through the property. Maranatha worked on several projects at the Mwami Hospital decades ago. And the Adventist Church in Zambia recently requested Maranatha return to build a secondary school campus. It will serve a growing community and be the first school to offer secondary Adventist education in its Province.
