Our work
• In partnership with Pretola Global Health and the Ministry of Health, EWF has been providing intensive online training to nurses on epilepsy management.
• Epilepsy Warriors Foundation has started collecting stories from people with Epilepsy from the African continent in a bid to raise awareness and achievements of ordinary heroes.
• The Foundation runs an awareness programme across three school zones in and around Blantyre. With a group of approximately 30 volunteers they visit schools, raise awareness of the condition and educate pupils and teachers in first aid for seizures. Unfortunately, this year, due to COVID-19, the volunteers have only been able to visit eight schools in Blantyre
• Recognising pupils with epilepsy may have challenges with education, the Foundation has established an “epilepsy club” with over 100 members who Samuel describes as “young advocates”.

Samuel Peter Chigamba is the Founder & Executive Director at Epilepsy Warriors Foundation (EWF).
