COVID-19 Response

Nkhotakota, Central Region, Malawi

About this Fundraiser

The first cases of COVID-19 have appeared in Malawi. The culture is social with large gatherings a foundation of society. It's normal to sleep many to a room. Meals are eaten with hands. Travel is by packed mini vans. Hand holding is commonplace. The health care system is weak, only 20 ventilators for more than 18 million people. All of this is made worse because accurate information is hard to come by in the village.

Yet, there are things we can do to help prevent disaster.

1.   We are distributing hand washing stations. With no running water, hand washing is difficult in the village. We are distributing 200 to start, just a beginning, we need more. These will help during this crisis and are sustainable providing long-term health improvements.

2.   The Vocational Training Center is shifting to making masks. Not hospital quality, but these can significantly impact spread. The center is making the first 1,000, but we need more.

3.   In concert, World Relief is implementing an education kit that will be used as wash stations are set up. It focuses on good avoidance procedures and even includes a ready made sermon for pastors.

God has given us an opportunity to love others. If you can help, we would be very grateful. For perspective, setting up each station, with masks and soap costs about $35. Please share what you can to help our brothers and sisters in Malawi.
