Nundu Hospital Partnership

Nundu Hospital is the only medical facility serving the local community, providing healthcare for Cori-anna College children, the Malaika Mumma’s program, and others in need. Despite its vital role, the hospital operates with limited space, supplies, and aging equipment.

We are working to address one urgent need: proper hospital beds and mattresses. The current shortage forces patients to use worn-out mattresses or makeshift arrangements, impacting their comfort and recovery.

By supplying quality beds and mattresses, we aim to improve patient care and support the hardworking hospital staff. Join us in this initiative to make a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of the community.
