An Ekwendeni, Malawi Update
Missionary Update
In August 2010, our medical missionary to Malawi, Dr. Martha Sommers, shared with our congregation the plight of operating a hospital surgical area with very limited water supply. Her message touched our hearts, and the congregation supported a special mission project to help fund the construction of one of three new water storage tanks. Through a Presbyterian Women Grant for which we applied and were granted, the Ekwendeni Hospital now has the first storage tank and water is more readily available. To see recent photos of the project, click here.
