If Kate Forbes had her way, I would have been denied the joy of marrying the love of my life, on one of our happiest ever days, in our home city of Edinburgh.

An inspirational campaigner. Unfortunately, as a small charity supporting projects in Kenya, we recognise the challenge of funding shifts towards COVID. In our case we are having to scale back &potentially stop our work with health programmes in rural Kenya. So much progress lost

Our Kenyan team continue to ensure people in their community are registered to access lifesaving health cover.

"Because of COVID, people have been hit badly. Transportation & food is very expensive. Frontline workers are sometimes spending what little they have of their own on PPE, sanitisers & often basic needs for the most vulnerable able in their communities, including PWDs"
