Every day at the Katondwe Mission Hospital we provide medical help for Africa, precisely for children and adults living in the vast areas of Luangwa in Zambia. The team consists not only of the Sisters of the Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary (PL. Siostry Służebniczki Starowiejskie), among which is a doctor and nurses, but also of devoted local personnel that cooperates with Polish missionaries.

The primary focus of this place is to provide sufficiently high level health care that often saves lives. Still, we’re going a step further. Thinking about the future of this place, we’re making plans to develop. We believe in education of the youth and that is why we founded a school unit in the hospital area for female and male nurses and midwifes.

Every medical mission entails huge obligations to the patients and a desire to bring the element of goodness into their reality. Unfortunately, without additional support we encounter difficulties that limit our actions and even hold us back.

You’re wondering how you can help Africa? Here is what we suggest:

• Financially support

  Financial assistance is the biggest relief for our It helps to meet the current needs of the Mission, both those arising on a regular basis, such as medicines, dressings and bandages, food for the patients, and the occasional but necessary expenses, such as an electricity generator, a hospital car, medical equipment or necessary repairs.

   Each and every donation, even the smallest one, is a great joy and help for us, thanks to which we can fulfil the mission of the Hospital well.

• Become a Friend

  Humanitarian assistance for Africa takes many forms. Our Friends – Volunteers from the whole world – are a significant support for our facility. We realise that coming to Zambia and taking care of sick patients, away from the comfortable existence, is an enormous physical challenge and psychological burden. All the more reason for us to feel the warmth when we watch how joyful our Friends are and how much satisfaction they derive from bringing help to the Hospital in the heart of subtropical Africa.

  It’s easy:

  • if you’re a healthcare professional and you feel that your career path leads you to a medical assistance mission in Africa;
  • if you possess documented medical knowledge and you want to use it in raising the level of education of our students;
  • if you carry out your own assistance programmes that are compatible with our mission and you would like to implement it with us;
  • if you want to become the Friend of the Hospital of Sacred Heart in Katondwe contact us: katondwehadm@gmail.com

  We express our gratitude for all your help to Africa through our prayers from the bottoms of our hearts.

  It is thanks to you, our Donors and Friends, that we’ve accomplished things that seemed impossible. So far, among others, we’ve managed to maintain the continuity of electricity and water supply at the hospital departments. Yet, it is just the beginning. We believe you will join us in our mission.
