Landfills Do Not Need Medicine Bottles!
Anyone on prescription medicines finds themselves a bit uncomfortable when throwing away so many empty medicine bottles. It is obvious our landfills do not need these plastic containers! There is enough trash going into the landfills already.
Medicine Wrapped in Paper
While first world nations throw away perfectly good medicine bottles, medical pharmacies and hospital facilities in Malawi often find themselves with nothing except torn pieces of paper in which to wrap medicine for their patients. This is often seen in rural hospitals and villages where the poorest of the nation try to live and survive. You can help to change this.
Please Remove the Labels
Save up a group of your containers when you have completed that portion of your prescription. Place them in boiling water until you are able to easily remove the labels AND the glue. Then box or bag them and put them in the container in the Welcome Center. The Missions Team will then send them to the Malawi Project for shipment to Malawi.
Safe and Out of Reach of Children
It will help families in a third world country keep their medicines clean, out of reach of small children, and safe while they are being used.
Where is Malawi?
Malawi, officially the Republic of Malawi, is a landlocked country in southeast Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. It is bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast, and Mozambique on the east, south and west. The country is also nicknamed "The Warm Heart of Africa". Malawi is among the smallest countries in Africa.
Where are we sending these?
The pill bottles we collect will be sent to a “collection center” in Indianapolis, IN.
What Not To Send
Please do not send the large vitamin containers. Traditional medical bottles are preferred. Do not send containers with labels.
What Is Acceptable
All colors and types; 3-month containers as well as 1-month containers; locking and non-locking caps;
Why These Are Needed
The project sends medical supplies to over 700 medical facilities throughout the country.
