Background

JOG Enterprise is local fundraising arm of Saint John of God Hospitaller Services – a non-profit, faith-based health and social care organization established in 1994 to contribute to the development of health for all Malawians by providing comprehensive community mental health care and disability inclusion services targeting the most vulnerable, marginalized and excluded groups in the society. The initiative offers landscape development and maintenance services, catering and conference facilities, cleaning and screen-printing services. Proceeds from the business help subsidise cost of medication and care services for persons with mental illness, disabilities, older persons and vulnerable others entrusted in our care within our facilities in both Lilongwe and Mzuzu.

In addition, Saint John of God uses these services as part of therapeutical rehabilitation for persons recuperating from mental illness, those with disabilities and other vulnerable persons and to economically empower such persons by providing them with supported employment.
