ZAZA CHURCH AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL
After a large crusade, the government of Rwanda (through the district mayor) gave us a building to be used as a church and a vocational training school. The government also gave us enough land for more school buildings in the same plot and gave us additional land for farming.
The church in Zaza currently has over 350 members and, due to the small building, we have opened a satellite church about 4 kilometers away to accommodate another 100+ people from the overflow of the growing church.
The tailoring school has a current enrollment of 46 students with two teachers. The demand is much higher than this but we are unable to accommodate any more students without an expansion of the facilities.
Our plan is to build a school that will be able to house students in dormitories and allow us to expand our vocational training offerings. The ultimate goal is to build 8 classrooms, 1 main hall which will also be used as a church before building a bigger one, 1 office building, 1 kitchen plus a dining hall for all students, 2 sets of bathrooms and toilets, 2 sets of dormitories, 1 play ground, and a fence.
The vocational offerings and teaching at the school will include Tailoring, Carpentry and Construction, Welding, English language, Modern farming and kindergarten for young children who cannot get necessary requirements to go to other schools.
KAMATE CHURCH AND PRIMARY SCHOOL
Kamate church began under tree in October 2009 and the school began shortly after in February 2010 under the same tree.
Kamate is a place that is far from main roads where government schools, hospitals, and churches can be easily reached. The distance to the nearest school is about 12 kilometers, making it impossible for young children to make a daily trip to and from school. With this in mind, the local government authorities requested that we begin a primary school. Today we have 89 students in “Kamate Parent School” grades K-3 with one teacher.
Harsh sun conditions in dry seasons and incessant rain in wet seasons made it necessary to build a temporary shelter using plastic tarps laid over mud and stick walls; providing a place where children can gather for school when it rains and can be used as a church on Sundays.
Today Kamate church has more than 100 members with a fulltime pastor to help them.
With the growth in the church and school it is no longer feasible to accommodate everyone in the small plastic roofed shelter. Our plan is to build a church building which will include a main sanctuary and an office. We also plan to build 4 classrooms to accommodate each grade in the primary school.

MALAWI Bishop Charles Mthunya
Malawi is arguably the most underdeveloped country in all of sub- Saharan Africa. The average Malawian will earn only $257 per year. And with an adult literacy rate of 50%, an HIV/AIDS rate of 14%, and an infant mortality rate of 18% there is a great need for long term development in this beautiful country.
We have a great partner in Pastor Charles Mthunya. In the past year we have partnered with him to rebuild wall around church compound in Lilongwe and to build anew roof on church near Blantyre.
In September, 2010, Pastor Charles will be moving his family from Lilongwe to Blantyre to begin a new church work. This new work will include a new church, a primary school that reaches out to orphaned and needy children and an orphanage as an extension of the pastor’s home. We have begun the building project and our goal is to finish the first phase by September.

JOIN US The goal of Hearts For The World International is to help individuals, churches, schools and villages become self-sustaining, and not reliant on us in the long term. In these developing countries there are many developmental and economic problems. Education and vocational training opportunities are limited for children and adults, due to lack of resources, and financial stability. Your involvement can help us bring the needed resources to equip and train individuals who will impact their families and communities.
