Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

In Januray 2009 we travellied to Calcutta, India to spend our elective in a centre for women and child health run by Child In Need Institute (CINI) UK. We are spending at our time in centre specialising in the treatment of malnourishment.

Child nutrition is a major problem in India. One in eleven children born in India currently die before the age of six and around half these deaths are related to malnutrition. Many more are left with learning difficulties, disabilities or chronic ill health because of lack of vital nutrients during the most critical period for child development.

It would be wonderful if you donate to this worthwhile cause. £3.14  would cover the food needed to nurse a severely malnourished child back to health; £11 would cover the salary of a CINI health worker for a week, working to prevent malnutrition and and improve child and maternal health; £40 is enough to give ten severely malnourished children a second chance, including all food, medical care and everything they need during their recovery. Think what you could do for more!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Child In Need Institute (Cini) Uk gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
