Malawi Rural Health Clinic
Malawi, a beautiful country in southeastern Africa, faces a daunting health crisis in its rural villages. Limited access to healthcare, clean water, and proper sanitation exacerbates the challenges faced by vulnerable communities. Healthcare is not available to everyone, especially if you live in remote areas with limited access to public transportation. Clinics are far and often times, people living in the villages can’t get to a clinic in time for emergencies or cant afford the services. We a building a clinic that will serve over 25,000 people in rural Salima, Malawi. We hope to prevent deaths from infections and Malaria that are easily cured with medication and proper care.
