Eight-year-old Anita knows firsthand the impact of unsafe water. After falling ill, she had to miss school. Today, things are different. Safe water is now less than five minutes from her home in Namikuwo Village, Machinga.

Anita is back in the classroom and doing well, she recently came third out of 140 learners and dreams of becoming a teacher.

Thanks to support from the Made Blue Foundation through Amref Health Africa in the Netherlands, over 23,000 people across Machinga and Zomba now have access to safe water.

For children like Anita, safe water means staying healthy, staying in school and having the chance to follow their dreams.

This , we reflect on the lasting impact of the Deliver Life II Project and what access to safe water means for the health and wellbeing of communities.

Across Zomba and Machinga, the project helped improve access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene in communities, health facilities and early childhood development centres, creating healthier and safer environments for women, children and families.

While the project has phased out, its impact continues through the WASH infrastructure, knowledge and community structures established to sustain access to safe water and promote good hygiene practices.

While the project has phased out, its impact continues in the communities, where improved access to safe water and sanitation is helping families live healthier, safer and more dignified lives.
Because investing in WASH is an investment in health, dignity and stronger communities.

For Maria Simwaka, improving maternal healthcare starts with having a voice in how it is designed.

In Likuni, Maria joined other women, men and community leaders in a SUPREME Lifelines participatory workshop, sharing experiences and perspectives that can help shape better care for Pre-eclampsia and Maternal Anaemia.

As the co-design process continues, these perspectives will be brought together with insights from health workers and other stakeholders to jointly shape models of care that respond to women’s needs and realities.

With support from Unitaid, SUPREME Lifelines is putting women, communities and health workers at the heart of designing approaches to improve access to and uptake of lifesaving maternal health products and services.

What does better maternal healthcare look like? We believe the answer starts with listening to the people at the heart of it.

Across Lilongwe, Mzimba North and Balaka, the project is engaging women, community leaders and health workers through participatory workshops to share their experiences, identify barriers to care and jointly shape improved models of care for pre-eclampsia and maternal anaemia.

By designing with communities, not just for them, we are helping shape maternal health services that reflect women’s needs and realities, while building local ownership and creating solutions that communities can embrace and sustain.

With support from Unitaid, SUPREME Lifelines is helping bring lifesaving maternal health products and services closer to the women who need them most.

Every outreach clinic starts with a conversation.

Before consultations and other health services are provided, Health Surveillance Assistants engage communities through health talks that promote healthy behaviours, disease prevention and the importance of seeking care early. These sessions empower individuals and families with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health.

This is how every outreach clinic starts at Wilson Outreach Clinic in Machinga, because informed communities are healthier communities.

With support from the CF Foundation, Amref Health Africa in Malawi is supporting outreach clinics in Machinga and Salima, bringing essential health services closer to communities while empowering them with the knowledge they need to protect their health.
