The Chikondi Health Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization based in the United States that was organized by people who have a love for the medical and spiritual work at Blessings Hospital in Lumbadzi, Malawi. “Chikondi” is an appropriate  name because it is the word for “love” in the Chichewa language of central Malawi. We are a partnership organization to the Malawian leadership of Blessings Hospital.

The objectives of the Chikondi Health Foundation are to:

  • improve the spiritual and physical health of the people of Malawi through Blessings Hospital & local churches
  • provide an advisory role for the Malawian leadership of Blessings Hospital
  • act as a funding arm to supplement medical personnel, education, infrastructure, & equipment needs
  • organize visiting American volunteers for service at Blessings Hospital

Mobile Clinics

Our healthcare ministry begins at the village level.  Our mobile medical units partner with local churches in underserved rural areas to provide a weekly clinic and mobile pharmacy.  We also train local health promoters who can be a resource.  Patients who need additional care are referred to our inpatient facility.

Campus Facility

Located just minutes from the international airport, our campus provides 24 hour care with a laboratory, pharmacy, labor & delivery, HIV testing/counseling/ARV center, high dependency unit, surgery, Malaria testing/treatment, under 5 education & therapy.  Our staff includes a medical director, clinical officers, nurses, attendants, & administrative staff.

Visiting Teams

Several times a year Chikondi Health Foundation organizes and leads surgical trips to the surgery center at Blessings.  Our operating rooms have excellent equipment that allow us to perform a variety of general surgeries and gynecology services that Malawians may have not had access to. CHF organizes travel details, housing, transportation, food, & medical supplies. Patients have been pre-screened by the Malawian staff and report for consultation when the team arrives.  CHF registers all medical personnel with the appropriate Malawian regulatory agencies.
