The amount of people infected is growing exponentially, and the novel virus is the talk of the town. But unfortunately, the facilities to slow down the spread of the virus here in Malawi are limited.

But rural Malawi is often overlooked. On the markets located on the outskirts of Mzuzu many people gather to do their daily shopping. There are limited facilities to wash your hands. Furthermore, there are many healthcare centers without decent handwashing facilities, let alone clean drinking water. Our aim is to change this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have submitted a project proposal to Wilde Ganzen, which has been approved. This means they will double any amount you donate. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-column ugb-column ugb-5cc400b ugb-column--design-plain ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-column__item ugb-5cc400b-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-column__content-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcentremalawi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/IMG_20200604_150134-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Woman washing hands at the market\" class=\"wp-image-2070\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"divider-border  divider-border-center element-top-20 element-bottom-20\" data-os-animation=\"none\" data-os-animation-delay=\"0s\"  style=\"height:3px;\">\n    <div class=\"divider-border-inner\"  style=\"background:#dadada; width:60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-icon-list ugb-icon-list ugb-icon--icon-arrow ugb-a815697 ugb-icon-list--v2 ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><style>.ugb-a815697 li::before{background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;base64,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')}.ugb-a815697.ugb-icon-list ul{columns:1}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><ul><li><strong>Placing handwash facilities at local markets.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Placing handwash facilities at healthcare centers in rural areas.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Placing water filters at healthcare centers in rural areas.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Spreading reliable and understandable information regarding COVID-19.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Informing people about low-cost WaSH solutions.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The handwashing facilities are locally made by entrepreneurs trained by the SMART Centre.
