Story
The Medical Centre at Potter’s Village Child Crisis
Centre in Kisoro, Uganda, provides high quality medical care for sick children
and premature babies, alongside malnutrition care, an antenatal clinic and rehab
for children with disabilities.
Thanks to coronavirus, Uganda has a night-time curfew,
a ban on public and private transport, as well as lockdown. To mitigate this,
most staff are now living on site, but it also means fewer patients in the
Medical Centre and so reduced income from fees. Costs of medical supplies,
drugs and food are rising. Providing meals, laundry, and rubbish disposal for
staff staying on site adds to the cost. But our Special Care Baby Nursery and
the Children's Ward are still needed, and more so, when the crisis is over.
The staff of the Medical Centre provide a fantastic
service and Friends of Potter's Village wants to ensure this can continue. To aid
the retention of staff and ensure they all receive some income, even if they
can't always get to work, and to keep the Medical Centre running, we need at
least a £2,000 a month in addition to what we already send.
10,000 steps a day is harder now than it was pre-lockdown
so Please donate what you can and help me do my bit! Thank you.
