Malawi Children's Initiative

Thank you Sonia Varghese for your purchase of the IV pump!! And thank you to Andrew Powell, Mackenzie Esch, and Adam Leonard for contributing to the much-needed equipment at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre!
Can we get someone to buy a portable suction machine for $1775? It could save a child's life who is in respiratory distress.
Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

There are 9 days left in the year to give. Let’s try to raise $1350 for one life-saving infusion pump for the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital Pediatric Emergency Dept (A and E).
I know these last few days before Christmas are a spending spree. Spend some to save a child’s life. 🙏🎄❤️

Give Hope to Malawi's Children

Giving Tuesday is coming!

When you donate to MCI you are maybe three or four degrees of separation away from the child suffering on the bed.

In Malawi, children are dying from treatable conditions. 20 million people. Leas than 50 pediatricians.

But here's what makes Malawi Children's Initiative different:
→ No one in the US gets paid from your donation
→ You can track where every dollar goes
→ Your money goes directly to the children who need it
This Giving Tuesday (December 2), we're raising $25,000 for emergency equipment and medical training that will save lives.
