Project Overview
Rotary eClub State of Jefferson Rotarian Lucinda Kolo discussed her work in Malawi. Lucinda, a Medical Doctor, who along with ER nurses, pharmacists and others, visit four villages in Malawi to provide health care. The adventure starts with the arrival of the team at the Lilongwe International airport. This was the fifth year for the team who has established a rapport with the people from each of the villages. The lack of electricity, clean running water, and roads makes each visit a challenge. The team spends two days in each of the villages providing health care and education to the people.
Project Impact
Malawi villagers.
Scabies, a common infection, requires treatment of the whole village at the same time. A village of 50 to 60 people will grow to hundreds as news spreads of a health care visit.
Success Factors
