For nearly a month, torrential rain battered Malawi, causing floods, washing out roads, and displacing more than 174,000 people—many stranded with no health care or clean water.
Last Saturday, six PIH doctors and eight nurses responded to the crisis, treating more than 600 patients at a PIH mobile clinic in Matope, Malawi—bringing critical medicines and services to this destitute region, where most people live in mud huts with thatched roofs, making them very vulnerable to natural disasters.
The rains may have stopped but the flooding hasn't, and across the nation, families need food, water, and health care—and we need your help to reach people in need, just as we've done together from Haiti to Liberia.
Will you support these critical efforts with a gift of $15 today?
Saturday's mobile clinic brought antibiotics, malaria pills, and water purification tablets that can avert deadly diseases like cholera and typhoid, which spike after floods when clean drinking water is scarce.
But, as we brace for outbreaks of malaria, diarrheal sickness, and hunger, we know this crisis is far from over. And we need your help to locate and treat those most in need.
Will you consider a gift today to help the people of Malawi?
