An Invitation

Have you ever wondered how you could make a lasting difference?

Especially in the life of someone who has little or no access to healthcare? This is your opportunity to serve, love, and bring hope to communities in need.

For more than 35 years, Project Compassion has been sharing God's love through compassionate service around the world. Now we invite you to join us for an unforgettable 15-day medical mission trip to Blantyre, Malawi.

Together we will serve in remote villages by setting up medical clinics and providing much-needed healthcare to families who might otherwise have none. More than a mission trip, this is a chance to build relationships, encourage communities, and be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Clinics can take shape in a church, a school, or an open field — anywhere a community gathers.

How We Serve

Village clinics.
Hands and hearts.

Project Compassion works with local churches and missionaries to bring medical care where little exists. A mobile clinic can transform a simple space into a fully functioning healthcare post in about thirty minutes — vitals, physician exams, medications, and a prayer and counseling area, all free of charge.

🩺

Medical care

Clinics for families who may have no other access to a doctor.

💙

Compassionate presence

Listening, prayer, and dignity alongside treatment.

Where You'll Stay

Game Haven Lodge, Chimwenya Game Park

The team will lodge at Game Haven — a golden-stone lodge on a 500-acre private game park in Bvumbwe, about 25 kilometers from Blantyre. Giraffe, zebra, sable, and nyala graze the lawns. After clinic days, there is a verandah, a restaurant, and the quiet of the Shire Highlands.

An Unforgettable Experience

Clinic days, then rest, fellowship, and wonder

In addition to serving in the villages, the trip will include several days of rest, fellowship, and relaxation. The itinerary is still being finalized. The team may enjoy a safari in beautiful Africa, or a relaxing stay on the beaches of a nearby country.
