Louise, Daniel and Emily will be climbing Kilimanjaro later this month and have decided to donate some of the funds they are raising to help support the work at Hope Ward.

On the 17th of July Louise Seres and Daniel Wade will be climbing Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. The trip is totally self funded so all money raised will go to charity.
The charities chosen, Suubi Trust and Kigezi Healthcare foundation (KIHEFO) are both working towards a better standard of healthcare for patients in Uganda.
Suubi Trust – Treats adults and children in Uganda at Hope ward located at Kampala International Hospital and also treats patients in clinics in Lira and Pader; all such care being essentially free of charge.

These people are generally the poorest people in Kampala, or refugees from the troubles in North Uganda, Rwanda, or DR Congo. They have a specialist cancer centre and the oncologist told me “it is very hard to determine a patient’s treatment by how much we had donated this month, as opposed to the treatment they need”. But they make do.
