Tackling a Deadly Cholera Outbreak

Malawi

Earlier this year, Tropical Storm Ana devastated communities throughout Malawi. In Neno District alone, more than 7,500 homes were destroyed. People faced increased food insecurity alongside a deadly cholera outbreak.

Abwenzi Pa Za Umoyo, as PIH is known in Malawi, mounted a strong emergency response with the ministry of health—including setting up a cholera treatment centre, conducting safe water and household chlorine distribution, and launching a cholera vaccine campaign.
