2026 Mission Project
The Mulanje Mission College of Nursing and Midwifery (MMCNM), a member of the Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM), is owned by the Church of Central African Presbyterian (CCAP), Blantyre Synod. It was established in 1930 by Scottish Missionaries.
Our one-time giving will provide the resources needed to purchase critical equipment for the current skills laboratory to ensure proper training. It allows students to gain hands-on experience in a simulated clinical environment.
The skills laboratory is a replica of the hospital where skills demonstration takes place and students take time to perfect their nursing and midwifery skills before they are allocated to the hospitals. The current skills laboratory equipment required by standards includes mannequins that students would use for various skills practice, such as wound dressing, bed bathing, feeding, cannulation, oxygenation, resuscitation, a pregnant mannequin for antenatal, labor delivery and postpartum skills. Equipment will be purchased with our giving.
Mortality rates in Sub-Saharan Africa are high, with a recent estimated Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) of 381 per 100,000 live births. The most common causes of these maternal deaths are preventable and are attributed to inequalities in access to quality health services. According to the World Bank report (2022), 82.02 percent of people in Malawi live in rural areas where access to quality health care is a challenge. (Click here for more information.)
Donations should be sent to your PW treasurer.
Thank you for your support to enhance the learning experiences for the students.
Gratefully,
Suzanne Herger, Missions
