Story

We need to raise £262,500. Thats equal to a new leg for 1,500 people who cant afford to pay for one themselves.

Why?

In July 2024, we will hand over our busy Lilongwe 500 miles clinic to Malawis Ministry of Health, just as we did with our clinic in Mzuzu on 1 July 2021 - and we need these funds to be able to do it - and so our final fundraiser, the BIG dinner 2, is now underway.

Just £18 buys a shoe raise which will help a young child; £55 pays for a new foot so someone can walk - but an average P&O device, like a below knee prosthesis costs £175 - hence our target being 1,500 of them!

Your contribution will not only help someone stand up and walk today, but will support many more people to walk confidently in the future. Thats because when we set up the charity in 2007, our plan was to help establish a sustainable professional P&O service in Malawi.

Every penny we receive goes directly into our P&O service in Malawi, so please give whatever you can to help us reach our target.
