Where we serve
We serve ultra-poor households in remote and hard-to-reach areas, where health inequalities are most severe and the impact of poverty, disaster, and systemic neglect is deeply felt. These are communities often overlooked by traditional health systems, not by choice, but by circumstance.
​
Our clients are frequently isolated by distance, with the nearest clinic many kilometers away. They are barred by cost, unable to afford transport, treatment, or even a simple health consultation. And they are often disconnected by lack of awareness, not knowing when or why to seek care, or what services exist.
​
We do not wait for them to come to care, we bring care to them. Through our doorstep model, we ensure that geography, income, and information gaps are no longer barriers to health, but opportunities to serve with dignity, compassion, and purpose.

Current Implementation Districts
​
​
​
1. Dowa (since 2016)
​
Our flagship district and home to our Health Centre, Dowa is where the PDC model was first piloted. We serve multiple Traditional Authorities, working closely with the District Health Office (DHO) to provide door-to-door care, outreach clinics, and facility support.
​
2. Mangochi (since 2023)
In Mangochi, we focus on hard-to-reach lakeshore and inland communities, supporting mobile clinics, reproductive health education, CHW follow-up, and strengthening referrals to government health facilities. Our work also includes cervical cancer screening.
​
3. Salima (since 2025)
Our newest operational district, Salima, is home to communities with some of the lowest rates of early antenatal care. We are currently establishing CHW networks, outreach clinics, and community engagement structures to strengthen local health systems from the ground up.

Planned Expansion Districts
4. Mchinji (Upcoming - 2026)
Bordering Zambia, Mchinji will expand our reach into new regions where health services are stretched and maternal outcomes remain poor. Focus will be placed on integrating CHWs, mobile clinics and facility support in rural zones.
​
5. Nkhotakota (Upcoming - 2027)
​
Known for its geographic and ecological diversity, Nkhotakota has many remote communities. Our expansion here will include mobile clinics, CHWs and facility support.
​
6. Kasungu (Upcoming - 2028)
​
With large populations living in scattered rural settlements, Kasungu presents a significant opportunity to expand door-to-door maternal and child health services using our proven PDC model.
​
7. Dedza (Upcoming - 2029)
​
Dedza will be the final district in our current strategic expansion plan. Here, we will focus on integrating PDC with broader district health efforts and building strong community-based health infrastructure.
​
​​
Planned Expansion Districts
​
By 2030, Wandikweza aims to reach over 3 million people across these seven districts, combining community-based care with strategic partnerships to support Malawi’s broader health system. Each district is selected based on need, readiness, and alignment with our goal to end preventable maternal and child deaths.
We go where others cannot, not because it is easy, but because everyone deserves care, dignity, and hope, no matter where they live.
