Dear Supporters of African Steps,
This is the final report on our Project "Stop deaths from TB on Likoma Island, Malawi", as the project is about to be marked "fully funded" on Global Giving and will no longer be open for donations.
I am pleased to tell you that we are building a TB unit which will be made up of 10 individual isolation rooms and the necessary bathroom and outpatient facilities. We designed the unit having taken advice from the Clinical Officers at St Peter's, Likoma Island and also two English consultants who specialize in TB treatment and are familiar with the African challenges and environment. We are in the privileged position of being able to build from scratch and to have access to the latest advice regarding the treatment of TB. Mathias Londo, the senior clinical officer commented in a recent email that this will be one of the best and most effective units in Malawi.
So thank you, once again, for the part you have played in making this possible.
Just for your information and to give you some idea of the other things which African Steps is currently doing at St Peter's, I'm including some recent photographs.
As always, thank you for your faithful support,
Kathryn Garnett
Trustee, African Steps
