Kapiri TB Club’s visited three elderly people from one family in Chembe Village Traditional Authority Dambe in Mchinji.

Their visit was not just about offering physical assistance but also about providing emotional comfort and understanding. By listening to the stories of each family member, the club members gained insight into the interconnectedness of health issues and socio-economic factors.

It underscored the importance of holistic support systems that address not only medical needs but also social and economic challenges.
