PB+J
for life
Motivated by love – Driven By Purpose
PB+J was founded in 2012 to combat the deadly effects of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) on children. This severe lack of proper nutrition causes children’s bodies to be stunted, brain damage, and sadly death in all severe cases.
The ministry conducts medical outreaches several times a week in Malawian villages evaluating up to 300 children in each outreach. Approximately 30% of the children evaluated fall in a category of malnourishment or in the range of SAM. These children are prescribed our Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).
Every 10 seconds, a child dies from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). Our mission is clear, end child deaths from SAM, provide the life-healing proteins and nutrients children need to promote proper growth in their bodies and brains, and make Christ known to those who do not know Him.
Our Mission
PB+J for Life’s mission is to spread the work and message of Jesus Christ through serving disadvantaged children and communities in underdeveloped areas.
Our Vision
Creating and executing a model that marries the works of compassion and evangelical efforts to help the needy now, and souls for eternity. Following Christ’s example of compassion and His desire for the world to know Him.
Our Purpose
PB+J was founded in 2012 to combat the deadly effects Severe Acute Malnutrition has on children. Our mission is to share the Gospel of Christ while assisting those malnourished in underdeveloped areas. We are fortunate to have established our program in conjunction with the Nkhoma Hospital, Nkhoma Malawi.
Medical Outreach
PB+J conducts medical outreaches in rural villages, reaching children in medical needs, some who have never seen a doctor before. By providing those diagnosed with malnutrition and/or SAM with our RUTF fortified peanut paste mixture, children are lifted out of a deadly spiral and given hope for a future.
Gospel Ministry
Sharing Christ’s love and salvation is by far the most important aspect of our ministry. Both those weak from malnutrition or strong in health, need to know the saving message of the gospel. Through our symbolic yellow scarfs, we proclaim the simplicity of salvation.
Sports Ministry
Our team orchestrates fun events featuring relays, soccer, volleyball, music, dancing, and more. Through these engaging platforms, we forge profound connections with communities, fostering deeper and more personal relationships.
Local Empowerment
We have employed and trained locals to run our operations, ensuring that we add value to society and industry in Malawi.
