Whisper is a small but very high impact charity that funds a children’s hospital and a maternity unit in Jinja, Uganda. The Whisper hospital is a happy, caring, child-friendly place providing high-quality healthcare directed by local needs. The hospital has a great reputation and some patients travel long distances to attend. The average cost in donated funds of treating a patient is around £22, an average that includes patients requiring lengthy inpatient stays. Whisper's hospital provides full medical cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and this allows many lives to be saved; we estimate that a life is saved that would not otherwise have been saved for every £294 in donated funds. Thank you for your generosity.

Story

I am thrilled (..a little out of shape) to be participating in the Swim Serpentine 2024 event to raise funds for the "Whisper" cause.

Whisper is a very high impact charity that funds Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital and Maternity in Jinja, Uganda, my father’s hometown.

Children often need blood transfusions, either because they have very low blood count from malaria or malnutrition, or to relieve sickle cell anaemia. Without Whisper's care, many of these children would not have survived; blood stocks at Ugandan hospitals can be unreliable

Your support would mean the world to me, and children in Jinja, as I dive into the waters with determination and hope. You can help make a real difference. The event is set for September 14th 2024, and my goal is to raise £500 for this important cause.

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 send your money directly to the charity.
