I was finally able to trace our organization’s DNA when Mrs. Graça Machel came to Seattle to reconnect with her VillageReach “family.” Ma Machel was a VillageReach founding advisor and the inspiration to deliver lasting changes to health care for the under-reached. A force behind global shifts in policy and political will for women and girls, she has impressed upon us many lessons. One was “to know and intimately understand the communities in which we work, and to ensure their voices are represented.” Another is that “progress is always achieved through partnership.” Raphael Salanga, Community Health Worker in Malawi, uses PPE from CAF-Africa to administer a routine vaccination to an infant in his community.
