Local Executive Kisunge Godfrey Kabwere Joins Mothers’ Fun Run 2026 to Raise K30 Million for Maternal Health in Mzimba North
BLANTYRE — In a robust effort to combat maternal and neonatal mortality challenges in northern Malawi, Kisunge Godfrey Kabwere, Managing Partner of Stratedge Limited, has officially partnered with the Mothers’ Fun Run 2026 campaign.
Through this initiative, Kabwere and his professional network have taken on an ambitious challenge to raise K30 million to purchase critical, lifesaving maternal and newborn healthcare equipment for underserved health facilities in the Mzimba North District.
Addressing the Healthcare Gap
Maternal and newborn healthcare facilities in rural districts like Mzimba North often face severe equipment shortages, directly impacting the quality of emergency care for delivering mothers and infants. The items targeted by this fundraising initiative represent a targeted intervention to address immediate gaps in delivery rooms and emergency transport.
The K30 million fundraising campaign aims to secure the following medical supplies:
- 1 Infant Radiant Warmer – To prevent hypothermia in newborns immediately after birth.
- 2 Dual-flow 5L Oxygen Concentrators – To support patients facing respiratory distress.
- 3 Delivery Beds – To ensure safer and more dignified labor environments.
- 8 Portable 2L Oxygen Tanks for Ambulances – To sustain critical oxygen supply during patient referrals.
- 2 Ambu Bags – Crucial manual resuscitators for newborns requiring immediate breathing assistance.
“These are not just pieces of equipment,” the campaign statement emphasizes. “They are critical instruments in safer deliveries and support mothers and babies during emergencies and referrals.”

The Mothers’ Fun Run is a flagship maternal health advocacy and fundraising project organized by Nation Publications Limited (NPL) under the banner of promoting safe motherhood across Malawi.
