Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Mid Sussex Triathlon · 10 June 2012

MEAK works in Kenya in the fields of ophthalmology, dentistry, orthopaedic & paediatric cardiac surgery, with the overarching goal of "reaching the unreached". To date, MEAK has completed over 110 missions & carried out over 13,000 operations to people in need, all of them completely for free.

Story

As a surgeon I have been fortunate enough to experience medical aid missions run by MEAK - Medical Educational Aid in Kenya. This organisation is a small charity run by a husband and wife team where ther are no costs and all proceeds go to the cause. Everyone donates their time freely.

Life saving cardiac surgery is performed on babies and children, cataract removal on blind patients with trachoma, often out in remote communities only accessible by camel, orthopaedic operations on those injured in road traffic accidents and also a thoracic mission that I was privileged to be involved with. In addition they also run a small school in Mombasa.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
