Empty Medical Center. Nandumbo, Malawi
Empty Tummies. No nurses, no doctors
NANDUMBO MEDICAL CLINIC
VILLAGE OF NANDUMBO, MALAWI
EMPTY. IN A SEA OF NEED
Built in 2004 for political favor, this clinic never opened. 30,000 people, mostly children, live within a couple of hour’s walk of this facility… their best hope for medical care.
But it sits empty. A memorial to broken promises, greed and hopes-not-filled.
The Vision Africa team of Hosanna! Church in Lakeville, Minnesota, Wellington Square United Church in Burlington, Ontario and St. John’s United in Oakville, Ontario wishes to open this clinic through donations from friends, associates and other organizations. US$70,000. is required to finish the project including wells, water tanks, a protective brick wall around this (approx) 2 acre compound, lighting, a maternity facility, sewage systems and the finishing of the existing buildings.
Agreements are in place to staff and pay medical professionals at the clinic. They are already employed at a clinic in Balaka, about 30 miles away. The agreement includes consistent supplies of medicines appropriate to the diseases / sicknesses in the area. The project will be overseen by a friend in the High Court of Malawi.
These Funds Are Needed By Nov. 2007 (before our mission teams arrive on site)
