It seems as if all we ever hear is how Africa is struggling when it comes to the health field. They don't have the money to put up these facilities to help take care of the people living in these areas. Well times have changed now and they are taking little steps to improving their healthcare systems. Instead of those who live hours away from a hospital or clinic, they are now just a couple of minutes away, especially for those who are living in the Malawi Villages these days.
Those who live in the lakeside village have traveled up to sixteen hours away just to get the needed help for either an emergency, or just being so sick. Now they don't have to worry about traveling that far, just a couple minutes away, and for some just out their back doors. These people would travel by canoes just to receive the needed care, and not all of the time were they able to make it whether it be because of rain, facing crocodiles, or their not being enough water in the lake to get them from one destination to the other. The Malawian people live in major poverty, and make less than a dollar a day. When many of them found out about the new clinic being built in their village they were all very happy because no longer will they have to travel those long distances and worry about how much things will cost and if they will even have enough for the procedure.
This ship is going to do many wonders for the Malawian people! It will provide them with the healthcare services they will need, and will also provide some of the people with many job opportunities as well! I think this is a wonderful idea and I would really like to travel to the Malawi Villages someday!
