Holistic Care is a community based organization formed in 2005 by Mrs. Chrissie Hamuza, while she was working as a nurse at Queen Elizabeth’s Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.

One afternoon in 2005 she went to “Chatha“ Village in the rural parts of Blantyre to visit a colleague who was ill. Upon her visit she was shock to see the lack of basic health care services in the marginalized community. This was her call to action that drove her to set up Holistic Care together with 3 other individuals. Through the guide of the local chief of the community, they formed a village development committee with the following objective areas:

• Early childhood development (Holistic Care Nursery School for orphans and vulnerable children)

• Chronically ill, elderly and widows program (Home based care and visits)

• Youth Development

Holistic care nursery school opened its doors in 2005 to offer early childhood development to orphaned and vulnerable children. The nursery school also offer meals (Porridge) to the children on a daily basis. Since its inception the n nursery school has graduated over 400 bright children and currently opens its doors to 35 children each year.

Holistic’s mission has expanded to include:

1. A basic daily meal for 30+ of orphaned and vulnerable children.

2. Pre-school morning classes for those unable to afford or attend local schools.

3. Most importantly, a safe place where the staff expects to see you every day of the week

As part of our commitment to both profitable business and positive social impact, we are a proud financial supporter of this scrappy and impactful charity. We are excited for what the future holds at Holistic Care.
