Gladys Kaselo delivers care at a village clinic

Gladys Kaselo is a Health Surveillance Assistant with VillageReach in Sitima village in Malawi. Sitima has a population of about 850 people and it is very rural and difficult to get to. To get to the large health center, it takes about three hours by foot, so when Gladys opened a village clinic in Sitima, the villagers were very happy.

She holds clinic twice a week for children under five to get regular check-ups and treatment when they are sick. One day, Ester brought her daughter to see Gladys. Ester’s daughter had been suffering from a fever and Gladys diagnosed her with malaria.

Gladys was able to give Ester medicine for her daughter and show her how to smash it up and mix it with water for her to drink. Ester’s daughter fortunately recovered.

Thanks to the generous donation from Anne, Josh, Josiah and Isaiah, Gladys is able to keep operating her village clinic in the village of Sitima for another month.
