I'm raising money in aid of Emergency and other NGOs. Please consider a donation - no matter how small, it will make a difference.

EMERGENCY provides free, high-quality healthcare to victims of war, poverty & landmines, alongside building hospitals and training local medical staff. Founded in 1994, they have treated 12 million people in 19 different countries and currently operates in Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iraq, Italy, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Uganda, and Yemen.

Here’s the difference your support can make:

£5 could pay for a whole day of meals for one of our hospital patients in Sierra Leone.

£25 could pay for the medicine a hospitalised child needs in our Neonatal Intensive Care Ward in Afghanistan.

£100 could pay for one year of post-operative therapy for a patient having heart valve replacement surgery in Sudan.
