Gratitude in Action: Celebrating Our Health Volunteers

As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, our hearts are full of gratitude for the incredible community health volunteers who give their time freely to provide life-saving care and education. These dedicated individuals have a heart for the most vulnerable—many of whom are women and children—bringing hope and loving care to their communities with passion and purpose.

On a recent site visit to our partners in Malawi, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, we asked volunteers why they continue to serve. Their overwhelming response? To make a difference in their communities. Through training provided by HealthEd Connect, they not only grow in their skills but also amplify their impact, creating healthier, stronger communities.

We are also deeply thankful for YOU—our supporters. Your generosity makes this work possible every single day. Because of you, volunteers can provide care, education, and support for orphans and vulnerable children. Together, we empower women and children through evidence-based health, education, and advocacy.

From all of us at HealthEd Connect: THANK YOU for making a difference!

Kafwa volunteers from the Luapula province of Zambia visit a long-time client who has benefited from their knowledge, experience and care.

Wasaidizi volunteers from the Democratic Republic of Congo receive training in using a blood pressure cuff. High blood pressure is a common health concern in their communities and with this support for their clients the volunteers can help them receive the assistance they need.
