#HealthCenteredMalawi

November 28, 2017  HealthEd Connect recently received a donation to build a humble community health center in Malawi that the Sinkhani health workers dreamed and hoped for! This is a picture of one location the volunteer Sinkhani health workers have been using to educate mothers on health issues like nutrition, sanitation, oral rehydration and to weigh and monitor their babies. It's a shed used to dry tobacco - not large enough for everyone and certainly not a suitable meeting place during the rainy season! Last year, the Sinkhani weighed and monitored 18,285 at-risk babies.  It is estimated 47% of the children in Malawi are stunted due to malnutrition. Now that we have received such a generous gift to build the community health center, we are thrilled that the Sinkhani health workers will have a suitable place to conduct their important health education. And now we can begin to focus our efforts on additional programs that will bring life to the health center and support to the community! The Sinkhani have already identified the top needs they wish to address to support the community: programs for orphans and vulnerable children. We invite you to join us! Become a supporting member of the Sinkhani health worker team! You'll be helping bring ideas for child support and development to life! Join us in raising $14,700 today for the Sinkhani programs. Donate at www.healthedconnect.org Join HealthEd Connect as we expand opportunities to positively impact the lives of vulnerable children in Malawi!
