Every Life Matters in Zambia
Too many Zambians are suffering from devastating illnesses, such as cancer and need specialist care, but currently only two hospices provide it. While the need for palliative care has increased, its provision in Zambia has diminished as hospices have closed. Your sponsorship will go towards supporting 9000 people to get the pain relief, respect, and dignity they deserve.
Through you:
- 9,000 people could receive free pain relief and home-based palliative care.
- A 15-seat minibus ambulance could be provided for Ranchhod Hospice to give pain relief and care for people with terminal illnesses.
- Students could take part in a new diploma or degree to enable them to become specialists in delivering palliative care.
Sponsorship
We've set you the target of raising £3200. Although this may seem like a lot of money, you can do it! We’ve got lots of tips and advice to guide you with your fundraising and are happy to help you on your way.
