Big news and even bigger impact!

We’re incredibly grateful to announce a generous 317,000,000MWK partnership with Bank of Malawi to support the infrastructure project at our hospital. This investment will directly address the daily electrical challenges our team and patients face—bringing more reliable power through a solar microgrid system, safer care, and greater efficiency to everything we do.

For our staff, it means fewer interruptions while serving patients. For our patients, it means more consistent, dependable care when it matters most. And for our community, it’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when organizations come together with a shared vision.

This is more than funding—it’s a step toward stronger healthcare, renewed hope, and a brighter future for all.

Thank you to National Bank of Malawi plc for believing in this mission and helping us build something that will serve generations to come!

Provider Spotlight: Dr. Laura Sherwin

A patient recently came to the Malamulo dental clinic who had never had her teeth cleaned before.

After watching online videos about oral health, she realized it was time. She had been feeling self-conscious about her teeth and her smile and decided to seek care. When she arrived at the clinic, the exam revealed dark areas of buildup (tartar/calculus) on nearly all of her teeth.

Dr. Laura Sherwin carefully cleaned the patient’s teeth using specialized dental instruments and the transformation was remarkable.

When the cleaning was finished, the patient was thrilled. She smiled again and again, checking the mirror, excited to see her teeth looking white and healthy. What began as a small step toward self-care became a moment of restored confidence and joy.
We are grateful for providers like Dr. Sherwin and team members like Pemphero Mperere, whose skill, patience, and compassion make everyday care feel personal and empowering for patients.

We look forward to sharing more stories of the people both patients and providers who make Malamulo Adventist Hospital a place of healing and hope.

The nightmare kept getting worse.

After being stabbed in the chest during an assault, he was initially grateful simply to have survived. But as days turned into weeks, his condition declined. He developed a persistent cough, increasing difficulty breathing, and eventually was horrified to find pus draining from his chest wounds.

Unable to find help elsewhere, he came to Malamulo Adventist Hospital. The surgical team evaluated this 25-year-old man and determined that blood in his chest had never been properly drained. It was now infected, and he was critically ill (the second image shows his initial chest X-ray).

Treatment was started, and a surgical plan was carefully mapped out. Even in the best settings, the required surgery is complex and high-risk. After reviewing the risks and benefits together, the patient and team decided to proceed.

Cases like this require a true team effort. The anesthetist team intubated the patient and isolated his healthy lung. Dr. Tyler Pender, along with several PAACS surgical residents, opened his chest. Working carefully around his heart, major blood vessels, and lung, they removed all of the infected material.

Following surgery, the patient remained very ill and required hourly nursing care in the Malamulo critical care unit. By God’s grace, he survived and slowly began to improve. Eventually, he was able to leave the hospital and continued to regain strength. By the time of his final clinic visit (first image), he was fully recovered and feeling strong.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to provide high-level care for critically ill patients at Malamulo. Performing advanced procedures like this is only possible because of ongoing efforts to train and equip anesthetists, nurses, and the entire surgical team. Thank you to .pender and the incredible team involved in this life-saving care.

We are completely overwhelmed with gratitude and awe as we share an update on the Malamulo infrastructure project.

Because of an incredibly generous matching fund challenge and the outpouring of support that followed from all of you, over $500,000 was raised over the past few months toward this critical project.

What began as a hopeful goal quickly became something far bigger than we imagined.

Yesterday, we shared a short video that walks through the full scope of this project and what these funds make possible. We hope you’ll take a moment to watch, it captures both the vision and the deep thankfulness of the Malamulo team.

Across the hospital, staff are truly amazed by how much progress is now underway because of this one campaign. Reliable power is no longer just a future plan, it is actively becoming a reality. This momentum will directly impact patient safety, surgical care, training, and the sustainability of the hospital for years to come.

To everyone who gave, shared, prayed, encouraged, or helped spread the word…thank you. This was a collective effort, and the impact is already being felt here at Malamulo.
We are deeply grateful and honored to walk this journey with such a generous community.

As this year comes to a close, we pause with deep gratitude for the people and partnerships that make the work at Malamulo Adventist Hospital possible.

In a season that reminds us of the Light that Jesus brings into the world, we are thankful for the dedicated MAH staff. We are also so grateful for everyone around the world who is connected to, volunteered for, or donated to Malamulo.

You help keep that light shining through the compassionate, life-saving care we offer here to our community.

Looking ahead to the new year, we are hopeful. New, reliable power at the hospital means safer surgeries, protected equipment, uninterrupted oxygen, and stronger training for future surgeons. It means light when it matters most.

As you reflect on the year behind us and the one ahead, thank you for being part of this mission. Your generosity, prayers, and encouragement continue to bring hope, healing, and stability to Malamulo.

With gratitude and hope for the year ahead.

Year-End Giving Reminder: Every Dollar Matched Through Dec. 31. If you’re thinking about year-end giving, we want to remind you of a powerful opportunity at Malamulo Adventist Hospital.

A generous partner has offered a $100,000 matching donation, meaning every gift made through December 31 will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

• $100 becomes $200
• $500 becomes $1,000

These funds support a critical infrastructure project: a stable electrical microgrid for the hospital. Right now, frequent power outages damage equipment and interrupt surgeries, oxygen production, and medical training. Reliable power will directly impact patient safety, protect life-saving equipment, and strengthen training for future surgeons through the PAACS program.

If Malamulo has touched your life, or the life of someone you know, this is a meaningful way to give before the year ends.

Dear family, friends, and supporters of Malamulo's Hospital and our mission,

We are thrilled to share a giving opportunity that we think will save lives at Malamulo Adventist Hospital. A generous partner has approached us to offer a $100,000 Matching Grant. From now until December 31st, every dollar you give will be matched, dollar-for-dollar.

Your $100 gift becomes $200.

Your $500 gift becomes $1,000.

Why is this so critical for patient care and training?

Right now, our hospital staff faces hourly and daily power outages. These power irregularities damage vital hospital equipment and mean our new, modern oxygen plant often cannot be used. This instability is a constant threat during delicate surgeries and interrupts the training of our surgical residents.

Your gift will directly fund a new, stable electrical microgrid and distribution system. This project is the foundation for everything we do. It will protect patients by ensuring reliable, 24/7 power for our six new surgical suites, three new dental operatories, and critical equipment. It will also empower trainees by providing a stable environment for our Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) program. Lastly, it will help build sustainability through integrating and expanding our solar energy, creating a resilient, long-term solution.

This is a powerful opportunity to provide support for all our life-saving work. Please consider making a gift today to unlock the full $100,000 match before the end of the year.

Thank you for your incredible partnership.

With gratitude,

Brent and Laura Sherwin and Malamulo Hospital staff
