Anne-Louise on Surviving in Malawi.

We have 15 women in Mphizi with 59 dependent children depending on our crops and 20 members of the patient support group with approx 50 children dependent on this season’s crops. All are suffering from chronic malnutrition and are being treated with palliative care.

Like Aleen Josphat and her mother. I brought them down to hospital from Mphizi this morning. Aleen is suffering from TB , heart failure and possible liver problems. She has got progressively worse over the last 2 months. There are no buses, taxis or ambulance where our members live. Aleen is an important member of the TT.

Although our work is directly concentrated in the field we keep an eye on all of the women involved. Your help means we can do this. Essential supplies if you are a patient. Bag of Maise, oil, tomatoes , plate, pot and firewood.
