Project Hope, an international organization committed to making healthcare accessible to people around the globe, has donated two computers to Goods for Good. Goods for Good will distribute these computers to two of its partners, Luzi Orphan Care and Mchezi Community Based Organization. Goods for Good’s staff in Malawi visited both organizations to ensure that they are equipped to use the computers and to learn how they currently address their need for documentation. Luzi Executive Director Elijah Gondwe told us that it currently costs the organization a great amount of time and money every time they need a document typed and printed. It takes a Luzi staff member a full day to travel into the city of Lilongwe to access the nearest computer; the entire process ends up costing Luzi $22, an exorbitant amount for Malawian standards. “The coming of the computer is a great relief,” Mr. Gondwe told us. “We like to document our work, but Luzi has lost a lot of its money to commercial printers. Now this expense will be reduced.” The donated computers will allow Luzi to spend more of its resources on its nursery schools, youth programs, and vocational training programs that assist over 850 vulnerable youth.

Many thanks to Project Hope for helping support Goods 4 Good’s partners!
