An AMREF trained health worker giving a vaccineOver the course of one year, £8 a month is enough to train and equip a community health worker who will improve the health of those who live in their village and surrounding area.

Southern Sudan has the higest rate of maternal mortality in the world. Over the course of one year, a donation of just £20 a month could pay to train and equip a midwife who will save many mothers and babies.

£30 could provide two communities with well caps to cover their local wells and keep their water clean. This will help ensure that people in arid areas of Africa have access to clean water during dry and rainy seasons alike and that few people die unnecessarily from preventable waterborne diseases.
