Humanitarian Aid

We were formed in 1997, and became a registered charity in 1998.

Our initial aim was to deliver humanitarian aid to those in need and in 1997 we made our first trip to Chernikov 35 kilometers from Chernobyl, Ukraine. The purpose of the trip was to deliver goods in order to alleviate the suffering of children affected by radiation derived illnesses.

The following year we started trips to the Balkans, and between 1998 and 2000 visited Croatia, Serbia and Kosova on fourteen different occasions, excluding some trips on which we flew. Without exception these trips were to take aid directly to people impacted by the Balkans wars and who were now refugees. We also helped on projects in India and Chile.

In the year 2000, we turned our attention to AIDs stricken Africa and put in place two major projects in Zambia, an irrigation project in the East of the country and a farm/school project in Lusaka, as well as several smaller projects in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. While we were undertaking this work we began to identify that the underlying problem facing many of the people we were helping was that of a shortage of clean water and toilet facilities, and the inevitable development of intestinal worms. We reassessed our objectives and decided to focus our energy on providing water for life.

In parallel with our water projects, we are currently working in Sri Lanka - specifically within areas affected by the Boxing Day Tsunami. Our first fact-finding team went out there in early January in order to identify and set in motion, long-term reconstruction projects, taking with them the funding for one thousand 'Back to School Packs'. These packs provided children with basic school equipment thus enabling them to return to their classrooms.
