Villages in Partnership

Villages in Partnership is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing critical needs such as food security, water, education, infrastructure, economic development, and healthcare in Malawi.

ULC’s member, Emily Steward, BSN, RN and three other registered nurses are embarking on a life-changing medical mission to Sakata, Malawi.   On March 13, 2025, they begin their mission to serve a community in dire need of medical attention. They will be working alongside twenty other medical professionals to operate a free clinic for three days, providing care to thousands of villagers who otherwise only have access to healthcare twice a year.

As part of our mission, we are collecting donations to help us fill eight 50lb suitcases with medical supplies, medications, and other essential items for the villagers. In addition, we are also seeking financial support to help cover ground fees, medical supplies, and much needed food and water for the villagers.
