The people of Malawi are suffering from diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB. Nearly one-third of the young adult population of Malawi is infected with the HIV virus which has already claimed the lives of a whole generation of parents. Elderly grandparents are left to look after their orphaned grandchildren, most of which are severely anemic from chronic malaria, malnutrition and intestinal parasites.


May 2010

Our partner in Malawi is Lifeline Malawi Association (LM), a Christian medical ministry founded by Dr. Chris Brooks of Calgary, Alberta. Lifeline Malawi is an NGO dedicated to providing medical aid to the people of developing countries. In partnership with other humanitarian organizations, Lifeline Malawi provides a combination of medical, emotional and spiritual care for people within the Malawian communities it serves. They administer primary healthcare through out-patient and emergency clinics. They also provide medicines, HIV/AIDS programs, safe water, sanitation and self-sustainment programs. Their clinics in Ngodzi and Kasese serve a large population of rural Malawians with no other access to medical or spiritual care. Our mission is to assist Lifeline Malawi in bringing "Hope, Healing & Dignity" to the people through medical care and teaching. We are also challenging village leaders to improve the health of their people, and we're providing spiritual encouragement to Lifeline Malawi staff and local church leaders.

 

Clinic upgrade

We have been challenged to help upgrade a primitive thatch clinic, often used by Lifeline Malawi staff to deliver healthcare services to the villagers. The existing structure is not waterproof and does not provide privacy for the patients. We have plans to build a brick structure with a steel roof, providing a more adequate solution for this community which is very much in need of healthcare services. The anticipated cost of the reconstruction is $10,000. Please see Gifts of Hope—Malawi for details on giving to this project or give to the Malawi—Lifeline Malawi fund, through our donation link.

We appreciate your support of our fundraising activities,
as well as your thoughts and prayers.

 

 

EMAS sends missions teams
to assist Lifeline Malawi.

November 2009

In collaboration with Lifeline Malawi, the EMAS team provides hands-on medical care in village clinics, assists with training of local medical personnel, and provides spiritual support. Malaria is rampant in this region and the team has also distributed insecticide-treated mosquito nets to protect people from infected mosquitoes. Malaria often causes severe anemia and death in children.

Planning your Lifeline Malawi Short-term Mission (STM)

Lifeline Malawi is excited to join together in partnership with short-term mission teams that are aligned with their core values and are willing to come with a servant's heart and help Lifeline Malawi advance its vision for the people of Malawi.


Medical Focus

  • Assist team general tropical health curative services:
      • ◦Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM);
      ◦Malaria;
      ◦Tuberculosis;
      ◦Tropical Skin Disease;
      ◦Cholera & G.I. Disease;
      ◦Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI);
  • Specialty diagnosis and treatment clinics—AIDS/HIV,
    pediatrics, antenatal, immunization, dental, vision,
    hearing, psychiatric, etc.;
  • Training of medical staff in medical advances, practices and insights;
  • Community training in hygiene and sanitation, birth control, STD, HIV/AIDS;
  • Pharmaceutical management and patient records management.

There are many reasons why people want to come to Africa, and in particular Malawi as part of a short-term team. Each year, the specific priorities and projects will vary. It is always best to check with Lifeline Malawi first to see which STMs are still available. In many cases, there is some flexibility in order to accommodate team leaders and their team's availability, flights, and other logistics.
