 The Mwandi Mission Hospital was started in the early 1930's.
 Since 1986 when the Presbyterian Church-USA became involved with the Mwandi Mission
Hospital, many new buildings have been added to the facility.
 This is the newly constructed Hospital Chapel.
 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,
one of the largest in Africa, passes by the hospital and the village
of Mwandi, and is one of the life sources of the community. Down
stream, are the magnificent Victoria Falls, and the river at times
becomes the border between Zambia and Namibia, and later,
Zambia and Zimbabwe.
 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.
 During the rainy season the hospital grounds are green and lush.
 Mwandi villagers live in mud huts.
