Mpox, formerly known as Monkeypox, is a viral disease that poses a growing threat in parts of Africa, including Malawi. On 18 April 2025, the Ministry of Health in Malawi has confirmed 2 cases of Mpox and the figure is likely to rise.
Though it was once considered rare, Mpox is spreading faster than ever, and Malawi’s healthcare system is dangerously under-resourced to respond.
Our organization is working tirelessly to provide life-saving information, protective equipment, and emergency support to communities at risk. But we urgently need funding to scale up these efforts.
We’re asking for your help—right now. With your support, we can equip health workers, distribute public health messaging, and set up rapid response mechanisms before the situation worsens.
Mpox causes fever, skin rashes, and in some cases, severe complications. It spreads through close contact with infected people or animals, contaminated materials, and prolonged face-to-face exposure.
Prevention is possible. Good hygiene, avoiding contact with infected individuals or animals, and early medical intervention are key to stopping the spread. But without swift funding and support, we risk seeing Mpox spiral out of control in communities that are already vulnerable.
Please donate today. Together, we can protect lives and prevent an epidemic.
