Advocacy

There is Hope believes that the impact of any work which seeks to graduate refugees out of aid dependency will only reach its full potential when Malawi extends to refugees the rights of employment, integration and access to public education.

Leveraging our international partnerships, we annually secure additional medical supplies for the Dzaleka Health Centre, thereby enhancing refugee healthcare.

On 21st March, 2025, we handed over medical supplies worth MK102 million to Dzaleka Health Centre in Dowa, a vital facility serving over 86,000 people, including refugees and neighbouring communities.

Our Deputy Executive Director, Anock Kapira, emphasized that this donation marks the sixth consecutive year of There Is Hope’s medical supply initiative, made possible through our valued partnership with the International Association for Refugees (IAFR) Canada and Partners International Canada.

“We recognize the immense challenges faced at Dzaleka, especially in healthcare,” said Kapira. “These supplies are not just for refugees – they uplift entire communities relying on this facility.”

Laura Dobrowolski, Executive Director of IAFR Canada, reflected on the collaboration’s origins during COVID-19 in 2019.
