Who we are

Locally led. Community rooted. Health focused

Wandikweza is a locally led Malawian nonprofit health organization working to end preventable maternal, newborn, child and adolescent deaths among families living in extreme poverty. Founded in 2016 by a Malawian nurse and rooted in rural communities, Wandikweza exists to close the last-mile gap between households and the health system, ensuring no one is left behind because of distance, cost, or circumstance.

We advance universal health coverage by delivering equitable, high-quality primary health care through our Proactive Doorstep Care (PDC) model, in close partnership with public health facilities and district health authorities. Our approach brings preventive, promotive and referral services directly to households in hard-to-reach communities while reinforcing, rather than replacing, the public health system.

How We Work

Wandikweza operates through deep community trust, strong public-sector partnerships, and evidence-driven delivery. We collaborate closely with District Health Offices, health facilities, community leaders, and families to ensure services are accessible, culturally appropriate, and sustainable.

We believe that one size does not fit all. Our model adapts to local realities while maintaining quality, accountability, and dignity in care.

Guided by a shared mission to transform access to maternal and child health, our leadership combines local knowledge with technical expertise to deliver high-quality, community-driven care.

As stewards of Wandikweza’s vision, the management team is responsible for translating strategy into action, overseeing program delivery, strengthening partnerships, ensuring accountability and supporting the frontline teams who serve families every day. United by purpose and grounded in community trust, our leaders work to ensure Wandikweza remains responsive, effective, and focused on those most often left behind.
