Since 1990, Sue Ryder Care has supported the Sue Ryder Foundation in Malawi.
Here we provide community-based healthcare to people with chronic conditions, especially those with epilepsy and asthma, and disabled people, often with cerebral palsy.
Many are out of reach of government health systems and the help offered by other international or national organisations.
Over 6,500 people a year in Balaka and Ntcheu Districts benefit from the care provided by the Sue Ryder Foundation in Malawi, including 3,000 children. In 2009 Sue Ryder Care must fundraise £200,000 in support of this programme.
"We never thought we would get help like this in my village. Please continue helping my people. Previously, they did not have access to good medical care because of poverty, but since your organisation arrived the lives of my people have improved and they are very grateful. Thank you."
Chief Samuel, Kasinje Village, Ntcheu District
