Mission Moments – January 19, 2014
Supporting people with disabilities in Malawi
Life in Malawi is hard enough for the majority of people without the
compounded struggle of a physical or mental disability. Through the
Tidzalerana Club in Blantyre, people with disabilities are
discovering that disability is not inability. Tidzalerana means “we
care for one another,” and rightly so. Led by dedicated volunteers,
the club provides a place where those with physical and
developmental disabilities feel loved and accepted. Participants of all
ages receive a nutritious meal while learning practical skills such as
sewing, mat weaving and business management. Club members also
meet weekly to listen to one another’s concerns, learn new skills and
sing songs together. Programs like these are made possible thanks to
the compassionate support of Presbyterians.
