Joyful Motherhood
Home-based care for high-risk mothers and babies in Malawi
Chimwemwe mu'bereki is the implementing sister organisation to US-based African Mothers Health Initiative. We provide home-based nursing care to high-risk infants and critically sick postpartum women in Malawi. We started this work over 15 years ago to fill a gap in the healthcare system.
