Why didn't I think of that?

Height being checked on child in "Measuring Box"

 Dwangwa is a small village in rural Malawi with an area of about 50 square kilometers.  There is no transportation in the area to take mother's to the clinic.

Baby being measured in "Measuring Box"

Jere, the HEC representative in Malawi, reports that people do not like to walk long distances to the Clinic and as the result there are many premature babies that do not survive.

This area suffered from drought again this year and the people do not have sufficient food and as a result many children are suffering from malnutrition.



The village lacks drinking water and the clinic lacks medicine causing many unnecessary deaths.  It does not lack ingenuity, however, on finding ways to accurately measure the height of children.

Sinkhani, Felesi Mvula and Unice Banda, regularly volunteer in this village weighing babies, teaching classes for the mothers, and bringing a ministry of hope and health.
