32-year old Fanny is a widow, and mum to two children . Little Macnever here is HIV+ just like his mother, but Fanny’s 9 year old daughter is OK. These are not just statistics - they’re real people victimised by a killer disease that is devastating our region of Malawi.
“Thanks” to all who
donated medical equipment & supplies.
They were distributed to Health Centres and Hospitals and joyfully received!

It’s estimated that 45% of our catchment area is HIV+, and new cases are being added daily - 232 in the past 6 months!
Last year, Jonas, an 11 year old orphan, was scratched by a thorn while out grazing goats. Ignored and untreated, this minor wound on his leg became infected. His guardian couldn’t afford to send him for medical treatment so the ulceration worsened till he could hardly stand and was in constant pain.
It cost OHP less than £5, and a volunteer’s time to bike him to hospital each day to get him back to school with a smile!

Little Macnever is one of the acutely vulnerable children
who receive goats milk and fortified porridge in our
Play Centres. We also fund the family’s transport to
hospital to collect their ARV’s, medical treatment locally,
emergency food, and seeds, so Fanny can grow
vegetables to improve their diet and hopefully sell to provide for her family.
