The orthopedic hospital is in turn are making some of the supplies available to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the largest in the southern region of Malawi, the Bangwe Weaving Factory, a companion facility that is assisting the handicapped and also in Blantyre, and the Naminkango Maternity Hospital in Thondwe, a small trading center just east of the commercial center of Blantyre." Stephens concludes, "We are pleased with the new relationship that is developing between the Malawi Project and the medical facilities in the area around Blantyre. It is fitting very well into our plans that are designed to expand aid throughout the nation of Malawi. We owe a note of appreciation to Mama Cecelia Kadzamira who has helped to bring these contacts into a working relationship to the benefit of the people of Malawi."
