SOLVENTAS FOUNDATION x POTHAWIRA INTERNATIONAL

Malawi continues to face profound healthcare challenges—where preventable diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS remain widespread, and medical infrastructure is still stretched beyond capacity. In 2009, the Solventas Foundation began work in the region with a simple but urgent objective: expand access to care and address the root causes of childhood mortality. During an early visit to Salima District Hospital, that mission became deeply personal. A young child suffering from malaria—a disease that is both preventable and treatable—could not be saved. It was a moment that made one thing unmistakably clear: the gap was not just medical, it was systemic. That reality has not disappeared. It is why the work continues. From the beginning, the focus was never on short-term intervention alone, but on building long-term, community-driven solutions. What started as a response to crisis has evolved into an ongoing commitment to strengthening local infrastructure—supporting access to basic medical care, clean water, equipment, and health education.Today, that work continues alongside the community—focused not on a finished outcome, but on sustained progress toward a healthier, more self-sufficient future.

Dr. Anne Alaniz grew up in the area where Pothawira International exists today, and where food, education, and medical care were often difficult to access until she worked with the Solventas Foundation to change that. She knows what it feels like to be sick with no doctor and hungry with no meal coming.

Your support will help Dr. Anne Alaniz and the Solventas Foundation provide healthcare, education, and daily meals for children in Malawi.

$14/month gives one child doctor visits, medicine, and healthcare that could save their life.

$20/month puts a uniform on their back, books in their hands, and sends them to school for a year.

$42/month makes sure a child eats every single day for an entire year.

While there has been a tremendous amount of progress at Pothawira, there is still a long way to go. 100% of every dollar you give goes directly to medical care, education, and food for children in Malawi.
