Everyone has the right to access healthcare. Yet to many people in Malawi, this right is denied. Healthcare facilities do not exist where they are most needed. Only 46% of Malawians live within reach of a health facility. This is especially true in rural and remote areas where the distance to travel to a facility, or the cost to do so, is too great.

​

Malawi has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world with infant mortality rates estimated at 84 in 1000 births. The high mortality of under five-year-olds is mostly caused by malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia.

 

Wandikweza exists to provide healthcare closer to the people. We work to remove barriers to healthcare for ultra-poor Malawians in remote areas. We do this through Community Health Workers, mobile clinics, Nurses on Bikes, and our dedicated Health Centre.

​

We believe everyone in Malawi should have access to high-quality health care when they need it.
