Each year, Charity Service Faith Mission supports students in Malawi through our Scholarship Program, helping to remove the financial barriers that often keep children and youth from continuing their education. For the 2025–2026 school year, we are looking for compassionate individuals, families, or groups willing to sponsor a student who has never had this kind of support before. Your sponsorship will cover vital needs such as school fees, uniforms, supplies, and sometimes even transportation to and from school. When you sponsor a student, you’re not only investing in their academic success, you’re also instilling hope, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Many of our students are the first in their families to attend secondary school or even dream of university. As a sponsor, you’ll receive: A photo and profile of your sponsored student Updates on their academic progress The joy of knowing you are making a life-changing difference We currently have several students waiting for a sponsor. If you'd like to be part of their journey, we invite you to reach out. Sponsorship changes lives, starting with theirs, and often yours too. 👉 To learn more or sign up to sponsor - Together, let’s give every child the opportunity to dream, learn, and thrive.

Charity Service Faith Mission has officially launched its 1,000 Backpack Drive, an ambitious and purpose-driven initiative designed to equip children in underserved communities with one of the most basic tools for academic success: a backpack. Running through August 31, 2025 , this campaign reflects the organization's ongoing commitment to expanding educational access and affirming dignity through practical support. A Dual-Destination Mission This year’s backpack drive will benefit two primary mission fields: Malawi and Jamaica . The majority of backpacks will be delivered during Charity Service Faith Mission’s upcoming humanitarian trip to Malawi in September , where the organization has developed deep-rooted partnerships with local schools and communities. In addition, a portion of the collected backpacks will support Kingdom Life Ministries’ mission work in Jamaica , further strengthening a longstanding collaborative relationship. These destinations were selected based on demonstrable need and the organization’s strategic focus on supporting education in communities where school-aged children often lack even the most basic supplies. By offering a simple backpack, the initiative aims to alleviate one barrier to school attendance while sending a message of hope and solidarity. How the Community Can Participate The success of the drive is contingent upon the collective involvement of local businesses, community members, faith-based organizations, and civic partners. The organization is collecting new, empty backpacks only - no school supplies are required. Individuals and groups may choose to participate in one or more of the following ways: Donate new backpacks Contribute financially (enabling the organization to purchase backpacks on behalf of the donor) Serve as a drop-off location (details to be announced shortly) Those interested in participating are encouraged to follow the organization’s social media channels for updates and announcements regarding drop-off points and ongoing progress toward the 1,000-backpack goal. The Broader Impact While a backpack may seem like a small gesture, it often marks the beginning of a more dignified educational journey for a child. In many areas of Malawi and Jamaica, children walk long distances to school, oftentimes carrying their books and supplies in plastic bags or their hands. A backpack provides not only a practical solution but also a renewed sense of self-worth and encouragement to continue their education. Charity Service Faith Mission recognizes the importance of such tangible interventions in transforming lives. The backpack drive aligns with the organization’s broader mission: to ensure that every individual, regardless of geographical location or economic condition, has access to opportunities and essential resources. Join the Movement With your help, we can reach and even exceed our goal. Every backpack is a step closer to equity, empowerment, and educational access.

Hi there, and welcome to the Charity Service Faith Mission blog! I’m honoured to introduce myself and share a little bit of the story behind the heart and hands that helped shape this mission. My name is Jasmin Edwards, and I am one of the co-founders of Charity Service Faith Mission—a nonprofit organization rooted in faith, compassion, and the belief that every person deserves dignity, opportunity, and hope. My service journey didn’t begin with a grand vision. It started with small acts—handing out care packages to people experiencing homelessness in my community, listening with empathy, and simply being present. Those moments of connection planted something deep in me. In 2014, I began volunteering internationally with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Praying Pelican Mission, Compassion for Christ, and my home church, Kingdom Life Ministries. I travelled to Belize, Haiti, Ethiopia, Jamaica, Panama and Malawi. But it was in 2017, during a mission trip to Malawi, that my life was forever changed. I helped build homes—but more than that, I built relationships. I saw firsthand how a little bit of help, given in love, could go such a long way. That experience led to the birth of Charity Service Faith Mission. What began as support for a small primary school in Malawi has now grown into a mission that provides scholarships, builds boreholes, empowers women in farming, distributes hygiene products and school supplies, supports job skills training, and more in Malawi. And, locally, bringing dignity and hope to those experiencing homelessness through the "Hope in a Bag" care package initiative. I’ve learned through all this is that choosing to serve others isn’t about having the biggest or the greatest. It’s about making the sacrifice to help those in need. That’s something I’ve always lived by. And I hold close to these words from Mother Teresa: “I can do no great things, only small things with great love.” Those words are my compass. I don’t do this work for recognition. I do it because I believe love should move us to action. I believe in people. I believe in possibility. And I believe that when we come together with kindness and purpose, we can change lives—one small act at a time. Thank you for being here, for reading, and for walking with us in this mission of hope. With love, Jasmin Edwards, Co-Founder, Charity Service Faith Mission
