Since 1986 when the Presbyterian Church-USA became involved with the Mwandi Mission Hospital, many new building have been added to the facility. This is the newly constructed Hospital Chapel. The road conditions in Zambia are very bad. Currently the hospital ambulance has a cracked engine block Most men in the Mwandi village are fishermen. The Zambezi River provides a source of food.
Children carry water from the river to their homes for their water needs.
Some men from the Mwandi village are carrying wood to set up a stand in the market place. Mwandi is a very dry and sandy place and they go for 6 months without any rain. The Zambezi river is fed from Victoria Falls and is the border between Zambia and Botswana. The fishermen put their nets out first thing in the morning then collect them just before sunset. The trees in Mwandi have very dense, hard wood because of the termites.
