Malawi is a proud, safe, but very poor country in southeast Africa.

Sickness and malnutrition are rampant. 80 infants per 1000 die.

Healthcare is scant and deficient. One third of the population is HIV infected.

Two Dutch doctors are going there for 2 years. They need your help. Please donate now.

Your Donation

Your donation allows Ellen and Wieger to serve the people of Malawi directly. They will raise the standard of care, educate future health care professionals, and guide local research to address malnutrition.

Your support funds medical treatment for 9,000 very sick children every year—that's one child every hour. Ellen will be the third (!) psychiatrist in the country, offering desperately needed mental care for Malawians.
