The Trust’s third medical ship is currently on its 8,585 mile journey  to  Mombasa in Kenya, from where it will then be transported over 800miles by land to Lake Victoria.

Fuel costs alone for the trip are around £43.000 (£5 per mile).

Since January, donations of £16,600 have been received but there is still a long way to go before costs are covered to bring worthwhile essential  healthcare to the forgotten people living on the islands on the Lake.

If you would like to make a donation,

you can either text VINE06 £5 TO 70070 or visit the website www.vinetrust.org [1] and click on the links to ‘donate a mile’.
