Zambia Project March 2027

Join Maranatha in Zambia and help us to build staff housing for the secondary school located next to the Mwami Adventist Hospital, 18 miles from Chipata, Eastern Zambia.

In 1925, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Africa acquired a 3,035-acre farm 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 Zambia's Eastern Province. The mission was named after the Mwami stream, which flows through the property. Maranatha worked on several projects at the Mwami Hospital decades ago. The Adventist Church in Zambia recently requested that Maranatha return to build a secondary school campus, and Maranatha responded by providing an EEC (Education and Evangelism Center), our largest structure, plus a lab building, bathroom blocks, and an administrative building. Now the school needs housing to lodge the new staff of the growing community of the first school in its Province to offer secondary Adventist education.
