Medical Project: This is done by recruiting American healthcare providers with various abilities/specialties to travel to Malawi and work closely with members of the over-worked and under-resourced Malawian healthcare system, by providing as much material support as possible via acquisition of desperately needed medical supplies and medications, and by promoting cross-cultural healthcare educational opportunities in which providers can exchange knowledge and skills, thus enhancing the clinical capabilities of the members of each group.
