Fanizo David Simenti – who goes by Simenti – is among the tens of thousands of community-based health workers Amref Health Africa trains and supports every year.
The health workforce in Malawi is so stretched that Simenti is responsible for the wellbeing of 4,300 people. For pregnant mothers and families in rural areas, Community Health Workers like Simenti are their first and sometimes only source of consistent healthcare.
“It’s very tiring,” he admits, “but because we love the job, we continue.”
