ABOUT US
“TO VISIT WIDOWS AND ORPHANS IN THEIR DISTRESS” (JAMES 1:27) HAS BEEN OUR MISSION SINCE THE MODEST BEGINNING OF OUR PANTIPLUS PROGRAM IN 2018. THESE REPRESENT THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN MALAWI. OUR GROWTH HAS BEEN INSPIRED BY THE NEEDS SEEN AS THEY SHARE THEIR LIVES WITH US. ALTHOUGH EACH PROGRAM MEETS SPECIFIC NEEDS THEY OFTEN OVERLAP AND COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER. WE ARE PROUD TO BE DOING THIS WORK AND THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS SHARED THEIR ENCOURAGEMENT, LOVE AND SUPPORT.
Are you ready to help create real transformation in the lives of so many?

PantiPlus
The purpose of the PantiPlus program is to provide school age girls in Malawi orphanages with a durable, reusable product they can depend on every month during their menstrual cycle at no cost to them and have a positive impact on as many people as possible along the way.
PantiPacks include Reusable Washable Pads, Wet Bag, Washcloth, Soap, and Cotton Pantis that are designed to hold pads in place along with a colorful two-pocket Cotton Purse to easily carry supplies. The pantis can also be worn the rest of the month, without pads if no other underwear is available. Made of durable colorful cotton, with no elastic or snaps to break and a secure tie closure they are made to last.
Our goal is that this program provides girls with an essential product decreasing the number of times a girl needs to miss classes, builds new skills, increases income potential and supports the local economy.
Malawi PantiPlus Sewing Teams
All the components of the PantiPack are sewn by Malawian women.
They are grateful for this work and put the sewing machines, supplies and fabrics we provide to good use.
The PantiPlus program has created skill-building opportunities for over 50 mostly widowed women. This increases their earning potential and this new income enables them to provide meals for their children. But it's so much more than new sewing skills. They bond as a team, establish leadership roles, expect accountability of each other and monitor each other for quality work. Empowering!
We are grateful for the impact this work is having and appreciate all those who sponsor PantiPacks.
Just $15 covers everything to make a PantiPack possible.
Aiding Rural Orphanage Girls
by providing free PantiPacks
These are just some of the thousands of Malawi girls who have received their own PantiPack sewn by our Malawi Sewing Teams. The girls love the pantis because they can be comfortably worn without pads if no other underwear is available. They feel more secure and less vulnerable.
With their own PantiPack they can return to school, church and daily responsibilities secure knowing they have the feminine supplies they need and are not left to use unsanitary materials risking infection.
We will distribute PantiPacks to any Malawi orphanage in need but reach out to very rural areas because these groups often don't receive any assistance at all.
An incredible number of girls in impoverished areas do not have access to underwear or essential feminine hygiene products and this can cause girls to miss a week of school every month. This can have devastating effects on their future. It could force them to drop out of school; force them into early marriage; force them into unwanted pregnancies. Too many young girls die in childbirth every year.
So much can be avoided by just helping them stay in school.
Your donation in $25, $50 or any amount will help make these distributions possible.
House of Hope
"Love of God" orphans
This program began 5 years ago when most were just tiny children wandering and alone. Most had lost their parents to malaria.
36 children feel at home here receiving balanced, nutritious meals, medical care, clothing, school uniforms and supplies.
Their classes include Bible study, English and Math tutoring.
They have bonded as a family and named themselves the
"Love of God" orphans.
Here they receive the love, kindness and guidance they deserve under the direction of life-long Malawians Bishop Joseph and his wife Joyce.
Want to show these kids you care?
Your donation of $20, $50, $100 or any amount will go directly to their needs.
Just say "The kids".
Boy Champions
This mother is so proud of her Boy Champions son!
Boys at severe risk in Malawi are identified and invited to participate in the Boy Champions class. Each 6-month program is limited to 30 boys encouraging discussion and attention to real-life challenges.
Topics include staying in school, drinking and drugs, gang activity, respectful social interaction between boys and girls, puberty, what does a girl being pregnant really mean and what responsibility does that bring to the boy. Violence and rape are recurring, essential subjects.
Classes are opened with Bible study and prayer. Each boy receives their own personal Bible to keep.
The success of this program is heard through family and community members' testimonies telling how the boys have new attitudes, outlook and behavior.
The boys share what they have learned with their families with remarkable results. Some fathers have stopped beating their wives; a mother quit prostituting herself; an uncle stopped drinking; a brother saw the shame in raping a girl at school and there are many more stories. These boys are not only changed......they make change happen!
Want to make a positive change in a young boys life?
$50 will sponsor one boy for an entire 6-month program.
$1,500 covers all the needs for 30 boys to attend and benefit.
Just say "Boy Champions"
New Baptist Church of Malawi
Everyday Women's in-country Coordinator is also the Bishop of New Baptist Church of Malawi. The 50 small chuches within New Baptist Church of Malawi are seeing positive growth and unity among the rural communities.
In spite of the challenges they face in a life of poverty, these are warm, welcoming church communities of faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Though the strength of their faith they reach out sharing the Gospel.
Their rural grass-wall churches are at the mercy of the weather with rain and wind tearing them down. One by one they are being repalced with simple buildings of brick walls and sheet metal roofs. The church families join together making bricks by hand. It's a year-long process but obtaining metal sheets for a roofs always their greatest struggle.
Everyday Women, Inc. is grateful for the opportunity to offer assistance and also let others know what their needs are. Food and blankets have been distributed after major flooding, Bibles have been distributed and various training sessions have been held.
If you or your group would like to ensure that these churches are strong and protected with sheet metal roofs we welcome your help. These pastors do not take your help for granted.
Each roof costs $1,600 but any amount will go directly toward buying a roof.
Just say "Church Roof".
Bibles are always needed.
Bibles are in their Chichewa translation purchased in Malawi.
$20 will provide one Bible and any amount is appreciated.
Just say "For Bibles".
