Community Forum (COFO) will use a $7,499.31 grant to construct an Under-five Clinic in Kueza community in the Traditional Authority Chapananga, Chikwawa district. The aim is to improve access to health services for women and under-five children. The services provided at the clinic will include growth monitoring, immunization, family planning, health education, prenatal and postnatal care, disease surveillance, and minor disease treatment. Community members have been traveling a distance of not less than 20km to the nearest health center to receive medical care. With this new clinic, over 1500 households from the community will be able to enjoy a reduced distance to health care.
