Boys Town Jerusalem

Established in 1948 to provide a home and education for young immigrants to the newly-created State of Israel, Boys Town Jerusalem has become one of the country’s largest, most respected educational institutions. Approximately 950 students aged 12-20 study and live on the campus. The children of immigrants from 45 countries on six continents, they mirror Israel’s ethnic diversity. More than 95% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and require substantial scholarship assistance.

Boys Town Jerusalem depends upon the support of all who share its vision of turning otherwise disadvantaged Israeli youth into productive citizens of tomorrow. Today, your support allows Boys Town Jerusalem to continue to help Israel's most vulnerable children and bring out the best in each and every child. It means we can transform their lives by providing them with the tools and skills they require to live a constructive and happy life in the Jewish State. boystownjerusalem.org

Herona Hospital, Uganda

Herona Hospital is in a rural part of Uganda. Six years ago The International Medical Educational Trust 2000 built a 50-bed hospital, with two operating theatres, an X-ray, a dental clinic, an eye department and a maternity unit. This year we are raising money specifically for cataract operations; Herona Hospital alone has a waiting list of over 300 people. They have already done over 200 with a Ugandan eye specialist, Dr Susan Kikira. Each operation costs £150 per patient and is carried out free for the patient. Through our personal connections we can be certain every penny will achieve what it sets out to do, and the procedures will be filmed and documented so those who donate can see how your much-needed contribution has changed someone’s life overnight. herona.org
