Year: 2024
Country: Malawi
Project Status: Funded
Impact Sector: Health
Project Investment: $6,438.61
Project Launch: 10-14-24
Mndembo Village Development Committee, in partnership with Mudzi Connect, is launching the construction of Ngombende Under-Five Clinic to address the pressing issue of malnutrition affecting 19 out of every 310 children in the community. With a coinvestment of $6,438.61, this project aims to provide accessible healthcare services to young children and their mothers. Currently, the community relies on a borrowed structure originally built as an ADMARC, repurposed as a temporary clinic, as the nearest health facility, Msakambewa Health Center, is 6 km away. The new clinic will improve healthcare access for mothers and children, significantly enhancing early childhood health outcomes and reducing the burden of malnutrition.
