Throughout her life Annie Chikhwaza has retained a heart for the marginalised. First in Holland, then in South Africa, now in Malawi, she has reached out with practical help. When she married a poor African pastor and moved to Malawi, she was horrified by the thousands of orphans on the streets. Today Annie cares for 200 children, some HIV positive, and has built a small town called Kondanani ('Love one another'), with a medical facility, nursery school, primary school, high school and farm. In a country with more than one million orphans Kondanani is an oasis of love. Annie is tough. She has overcome molestation, divorce, carjacking, a broken back, attempted murder, attempted rape, and the death of her beloved husband. Yet she has a vision, and will not be deflected. This is her story. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

But her life didn’t become easy. She met and married a man only to be abused by him both mentally and physically. Eventually they got divorced and she went to South Africa and then Malawi. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world – depending on the study, in 2016, they were either #3 or #6. In a nation of 12 million people, Malawi has 1 million orphans and Annie felt drawn to helping them, many of whom had HIV/Aids. She met her second husband in Africa. But her husband’s children thought she was trying to steal their inheritance and tried to have her killed. Through all these problems, she kept her faith in God and finally started Kondanani Children’s Village. She started with babies and as they grew added a nursery school, then an elementary school, etc. This book tells her complete story - all the problems she has had in her life and how she kept her faith and belief no matter what happened to her.
