Objects

The aim of the charity is for the public benefit by advancing the basic human rights of health care and education in the developing world, primarily in rural, particularly impoverished communities.To achieve its aim the charity transports donated goods for relief and assistance to our link partners, providing, for example, hospital beds, mobility aids, maternal provisions, school furniture and text books. The donated goods are sought by us from individuals, institutions, corporations and companies. Recipients, who have very few resources, have additional, relevant goods by which to enhance health care and education. Volunteers, who are central to our activities, benefit by having purposeful occupation and responsibility. The wider community benefits through engagement with our activities, such as work experience, and through our emphasis on recycling with minimum waste.
