Chaseta Under-five Clinic Shelter

About this Project

Environment Water Sanitation (EWS) Foundation will partner with the Chaseta community  to construct an under five clinic shelter in the North Eastern part of Ntchisi District in Malawi. With a population of above 5,000 people, the clinic will increase coverage of health services such as immunizations, under-five clinic and prenatal services to the population of Chaseta area including children and women. Additionally, the general population will also gain access to public health information and first regimen treatment before processing to the main hospital 15 kilometers away. 

Environment Water Sanitation (EWS) Foundation successfully managed to construct Chaseta under-five Clinic shelter using a $8859.26 grant from World Connect. Due to this project, the beneficiary community now has easy access to fundamental medical services. Mothers and young people are receiving reproductive health services and basic healthcare, such as large immunization drives against diseases like polio, cholera, and malaria, respectively. The center also offers other services like vaccines, mass weighing, and diet monitoring. This project has directly benefited the lives of 5036 people  of Chaseta village and also indirectly benefited 3500 people from neighboring villages.

In its quest to reduce health access barriers women and children face in Chaseta area, Environment Water Sanitation (EWS) Foundation partnered with World Connect to construct an under-five clinic in  the area.  Attached with the staff house, the clinic has ensured full availability of personnel to provide  immunization, mass weighing, diet monitoring and malaria treatment for children and provision of family planning service, malaria treatment and some prenatal and postnatal services to women in the community. A total of 5,036 women and children are now accessing services closer home as opposed to traveling over 10 kilometers for the same before the clinic was constructed.
