The House of Good Health is a UK based charitable trust that support projects in Malawi that are locally designed development initiatives. We work with Malawians who have ideas about how to improve the lives of people in their country but often lack the resources to put their plans into action. We particularly look for original ideas inspired by the specific realities of life in Malawi.
