Special Educational Needs (SEND) and Safe Motherhood Unit (SMU)
This year we will complete two very important projects.
Three interconnected centres in M'bang'ombe, Malawi, will make a significant difference for people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This comprehensive programme provides essential support, fostering greater independence and inclusion within the community.
We will also build a Safe Motherhood Unit (SMU) for new mothers at the Maternity Unit. Have a look at the videos below to see exactly why we built the Maternity Unit in the first place. This second stage will provide essential care for pre-term births
The project will include nutritional permaculture gardens in front of the new wing, and education on good nutrition for new mothers.
