Im running to help support The Brain Charity

Nurses provide vital ongoing treatment and support for those with leprosy, both within medical facilities and camps, as well as through outreach programmes in local communities. 

We offer face-to-face and online cooking, yoga, dance, music, drama and sporting sessions.

In 2019, 10 million new people fell ill with TB, even though the disease is preventable and curable. With the emergence of COVID-19, respiratory illness and treatment are more important than ever.

APOPO’s TB-detection rats screen tens of thousands of sputum samples collected from TB clinics every year. As a result, many TB patients that initially were diagnosed as negative have been identified, started treatment and stopped the spread of the disease.

Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa (1.4 million), and 58% of them are children under 18 years old. The basic right to education of refugees is often denied. Living in a foreign country fleeing violence and persecution creates an extremely difficult situation for learning. Where education can continue, it is often of poor quality; in Uganda, this is affecting hundreds of thousands of children. The majority of schools do not have the infrastructure to accommodate overcrowded classrooms and the basic needs of children. Overcrowding is the hardest obstacle for teachers and students alike. This makes the situation for both teacher and learner almost impossible. Infrastructure needs to be adequate in order to make schools safer and more accessible, to all children affected by conflict. We aim to provide sufficient space, desk and learning materials to improve primary school children's learning outcomes and secure their academic future toward secondary level.

Windle International empowers people to make lasting change in their own lives, in their communities and in wider society. We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society. We believe that positive change is achieved, and peaceful societies are created, when the people who have been most affected by conflict are empowered to become change-makers in their communities. In Uganda, we have been recognized Best International Education Humanitarian NGO in the country, in both 2019 and 2020.

Dover smART Project was founded in 2013 to provide opportunities for disadvantaged children in Dover to take part in a wide range of creative activities and experiences to boost their confidence, enhance their well-being, raise their aspirations and widen their outlook on the world. The charity soon evolved and began similar work with other groups, such as the people without a home and hospice patients, using art and creativity to support their various needs.

Young people on our school, holiday activity scheme love our art projects, Your donation would be used to buy paint, brushes, paper, canvas, clay etc. 

They are used normally by asylum seeking young people using our services to brush their teeth and it would be really beneficial if we had a stock of them to give to current/new yp – the same as we do with western toothbrushes for our young people who need them.

Leprosy can cause a number of deformities and mobility issues, but physiotherapy helps to correct and minimise the effects of these, and has a hugely positive impact on people's daily lives.
