After months of planning and prayer, our Containing Hope container has officially arrived on campus in Malawi! Shipped from Boerne, Texas, this container was packed with love—and lifesaving tools. "Thank you to our incredible donors! It's like Christmas in May!" exclaimed CLI Hospital Adminstrator, Yolanda Geddes. Our hospital received multiple ultrasound machines, essential equipment, medicines, scrubs, and other critical supplies. The container also included school supplies to empower the bright minds at our primary school. Thank you to everyone who donated, packed, and prayed this container to the finish line!

Fighting Cervical Cancer—One Woman at a Time

From May 5–9, Child Legacy Community Hospital hosted an international medical team led by Dr. Melissa Miskell, who trained 10 CLI healthcare workers on life-saving cervical cancer screenings using Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA). 

“Testing HPV early is very vital because it will prevent people from having advanced cervical cancer and will reduce the number of people dying with cervical cancer in Malawi.” Explained CLI Clinician, Pemphero Afune.

Nearly 100 women from surrounding villages were screened. Those found to carry high-risk HPV strains (16 & 18) received necessary treatments, including thermocoagulation, made possible by the donation of a thermal regulator device.

“We’ve seen women who never imagined they were at risk now healed and spreading the word,” said Marlene Kaliko, CLI Chief Nursing Officer.

Special thanks to Dr. Miskell and her incredible team from the U.S. and Australia—your commitment is giving women in rural Malawi the gift of early detection and hope.

Celebrating 70 Remarkable Years

This May, we honored Jeff Rogers, our Co-Founder and CEO, on his 70th birthday. A lively staff party included cakes, merriment, and a tribute video that brought laughter and tears. Then, our grade 3 primary school class surprised him by singing him a birthday song. Enjoy the clip of the sweetness below! With nearly four decades dedicated to serving the people of Africa, Jeff’s legacy continues to impact thousands through healthcare, clean water, and education. A true visionary, Jeff has always believed in giving a hand up—not just a handout. Happy Birthday, Jeff! Your life is a testimony of purpose, sacrifice, and enduring faith.
