Urgent Need:

MCC recently received an urgent request from our MB Malawi Church partner that is working in Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi. Due to significant reductions in international aid and a growing refugee population, hardship is increasing in Dzaleka Camp. They have requested that MCC send a shipping container with specific supplies that are urgently required.

The Challenge:

We are inviting BC churches to join together in response to this need in Fall 2026. We hope to gather all the specifically requested supplies and ship the filled container right after Christmas to these families in Dzaleka Refugee Camp who have lost everything.

MCC BC will resource any BC congregations who would like to participate in this BC project by providing the opportunity for a variety of creative giving opportunities and hands-on experiences curated to your particular congregation. 

The Specific Need:

This list represents the items that the Malawi Church has requested for the MCC Shipping Container. Your church is invited to pick a particular category and set a goal for the number of kits you would like to support and potentially pack. You are invited to set a goal that is both challenging and realistic for your church.

•    1,600 Hygiene Kits ($6.50 each: supplies for an individual)
•    240 Infant Care Kits ($45.50 each: for mothers of newborns)
•    90 Sewing Kits ($64.00 each: tools to mend clothes or begin a business)
