Project 4 Africa have successfully worked in partnership with
African Vision Malawi (formerly the Landirani Trust) to raise almost
£40,000 in the first phase; which built two school blocks, providing
4 classrooms for The Namanyanga School in Malawi (opened in Oct 09); and a pre-school, a feeding station (supported by Feed the Children) and a teacher's house (opened in Oct 2010).
Project 4 Africa moved to its second phase which raised £35,000 to build a maternity unit in M’bang’ombe. The existing maternity unit closed because it was falling apart and could no longer attract qualified medical staff. So pregnant women had to walk 5 hours to the nearest hospital to give birth...or at home with the help of family and friends with all the inherent dangers. The new unit opened in Nov 2013 and now safely delivers an average of 67 babies a month!
Project 4 Africa have also refurbished some of the staff accommodation at M’bang’ombe in readiness to attract staff to the site. Arrangements have also been made to install solar panels to the staff accommodation.
The maternity unit opened on 12th Nov 2013...and delivered its first baby on the opening day! During Oct 2016, 84 babies were born at the unit ... proof indeed that the unit is required. See News/Pictures for more photos.
Solar Aid have also supplied solar panels to power the maternity unity...all great news!
Many thanks to Reed Elsevier for their generous donation of over £5,100.
African Vision Malawi secured almost £5,000 to equip the maternity unit.
