UNICEF donating $125,000 to our work.


Because of our work in Malawi in March, UNICEF decided to include doctors in the planning process of a "one-stop centre" for child abuse and gender-based violence, and further, to build the centre on to a hospital:  UNICEF is giving $100,000 to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre to build the country's first-ever one-stop centre where doctors, police, and child protection workers will all have offices together in order to provide the best care to children and adults who have been abused.

Today we received the initial blueprints from the architect!

The additional $25,000 is for our team to return to Malawi in January 2010 to continue training and capacity building with our great partners in Blantyre, Zomba, and Lilongwe!
