To celebrate Christmas, WFWP Zambia donated 34 buckets of assorted items such as Baby blankets, towels, nappies, jerseys, etc. worth fifteen thousand Kwacha (K15,000.00) on the day of Christmas, December 25, 2023, on the maternity ward on Chipata Level 1 Hospital in Lusaka.
A team of WFWP Executive members offered some small gifts to seven Christmas-born babies including a set of twins in the presence of the Martone, Mrs. Evelyn Tembo. The other buckets were destined for the babies about to be born.
After offering the donations, Mrs. Evelyn Tembo thanked WFWP for this gesture at the right time to support mothers and their families. She further requested WFWP to continue with good work and support. Mrs. Annie Chipata mentioned that the WFWP has thought of this Hospital to share the little they have.
After that, the team and the staff of the hospital visited the malnourished children’s ward to understand the reality. The person in charge, Mrs. Bwalya Mubanga in the ward explained that malnourished children are admitted and fed with local food and any support from well-wishers will be a big plus.
The WFWP Executive was interested and pledged to support these malnourished children by extending the malnourished children’s food project in that hospital.
