in recent weeks the state of Kerala in southern India has been devastated by the worst floods in a century. Hundreds of people have died and tens of thousands lost their homes, crops, and livestock.

Now the water is subsiding the clean up can begin but the impact now includes the risk of water borne disease. The AIMS hospital continued to support patients throughout the worst of the floods but their resources are very stretched at the best of times.

all the funds raised willfo to the neonatal unit and if we exceed the target it will go towards a much needed x ray machine for thr NICU.
