About Machava

Machava Arco-Iris Centre, located near Mozambique’s capital city, is home to around 100 children, 8 missionaries and 30 full and part-time staff.
We believe that together, with hearts as one, we can give the love of Father God and provide a better future for our kids. Besides our children, we work with our neighborhood and other villages of Maputo’s district. We minister to poor children and families in a village called Catembe and we also do outreaches in Maputo’s theaters to young people. We have a big truck and we travel doing outreaches for many cities in Mozambique.

Our center is a big home - everyone works as a family giving love and support for our almost one hundred children. We work hard to make this place the best place in the world for our sons and daughters who live here. Our center includes a church, care for children and youth, primary and elementary schools, beauty salon, sewing room, music classes, ballet classes, bakery.

Hope for Machava

Last night (October 24th), a severe storm left a trail of destruction in the Maputo region. At 7 pm we began to hear a strong and scary noise outside our house. The combination of strong winds (gusts of 120 km/h), heavy rain and hail caught us by surprise. Many windows were broken. Huge trees fell over o...
