What We Do
01.
Halfway House Program (HWH)
Prisoners are one of the least-reached groups in the world. Along with our national ministries and ministry partners, we have a plan to reach them.
02.
PromisePath Program (PRP)
The PromisePath program comes in to confront the harsh realities prisoners children face on a day to day basis in form of deprivation, vulnerability and neglect. To date, the program has registered 712 beneficiaries. These children are among the world’s most forgotten and destitute populations.
03.
The Prisoner’s Journey (TPJ)
The Prisoner’s Journey® (TPJ), presents prisoners with an introduction to Jesus, who was also a prisoner, and is deeply relatable. It is designed to run three to four times per year in each prison and is delivered in three phases.
04.
Restorative Justice Program (RJ)
Restorative justice is an approach to crime that focuses on repairing the harm caused as much as possible. It brings together those most affected—victims, offenders, and the community—to decide how the harm can be addressed and how offenders can take responsibility. By doing so, it helps restore relationships and strengthen the safety and well-being of the community.
05.
Livelihood Program
The Livelihood Program at Prison Fellowship Malawi helps families affected by incarceration become more self-reliant. It offers support through farming, livestock, and small businesses, along with training and basic resources. The program focuses on vulnerable households and improves income, food security, and overall well-being.
