We are very grateful for the opportunity to cooperate with the Pro Spe Foundation.

We would like to thank You for supporting us in raising money for the building of an X-ray block and the purchase of a new X-ray.

Your initiative will certainly bring a lot of good and will bring us closer to our goal.

We are truly grateful to you!

Can you remember the big package of equipment that was finally delivered to the Katondwe Mission Hospital in February, after many obstacles related to the pandemic restrictions? Among the many other gifts, the parcel also contained two lamps for operating rooms.

The very installation of the lamps was not easy. The ceiling structure in the operating room was not designed to support such a heavy device, so a quick renovation was necessary to strengthen the ceiling.

This nice and likeable young man in the photo is Bartholomew K. Kamlewe.

Bartholomew belongs to the team of the Katondwe Mission Hospital. He is a qualified midwife and a teacher, very committed to sharing with his students the secrets of emergency obstetrics and neonatal care. Moreover, he holds important positions on many committees at medical organisations. He is the first person from Zambia to participate in the Young Midwives Leaders (YML) Programme of the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM). He is also a member of the Midwives Association of Zambia (MAZ).

Last week, we hosted representatives from Swiss organisation SolidarMed, which supports hospitals and medical facilities in Africa, as well as the SolidarInvest-Zambia organisation (SolidarMed-founded) and the Hilthi Foundation. Such visits take place every 2-3 years to verify the effects of cooperation and planning further joint activities.

We are happy to share the news that a shipment of medical equipment from Poland arrived at Katondwe Mission Hospital on February 23. The pandemic has thwarted plans with an earlier pallet shipment, but we have succeeded 😊, the equipment is already at the hospital.  Thanks to the Polish Medical Mission Association for organizing the shipment.

Our gentlemen have their hands full to properly prepare the equipment for operation.

Sometimes it is difficult to express thankfulness for the kindness, which comes from you.

8 October has been another milestone for the whole the Katondwe Mission Hospital community.

From today, our Mother and Child Clinic is supplied with running water from a new deep-drilled well. We are so happy about this: the entire hospital staff, our guests and the friends of our institution.

The well of St. Padre Pio was donated by Mr Ryszard Łuczyk from Przeworsk and many inhabitants of the Podkarpacie region, who have raised an adequate amount of money during the campaign "Recycled paper for the Mission".

November and December 2020

We are happy to report some good news from the Katondwe Mission Hospital.

Katondwe now has a connection to electricity. It means that we have electricity from the power grid. We also have a new solar installation. Now we can use solar power for 12 hours a day. We will be able to save money for other important expenses. Above all, we will be able to make the best of our medical equipment.

We are developing, with four new houses for the staff and a small cafeteria serving local food.
