Make a Positive Change in the World this Christmas and Help Save Children's Lives by Supporting our Charity Partner Humanity Direct

Of the 243 million operations performed annually, just 3.5% of them happen in the world’s poorest countries and a far smaller percentage are performed on children. Congenital anomalies go unrepaired, treatable injuries result in lifelong disabilities, and children die of easily correctable surgical problems such as incarcerated hernias.

For our charity partner Humanity Direct all and any overheads are privately funded - meaning that 100% of your donation goes to directly fund a patient’s care - from the actual surgery to medical supplies used. and post-operation care. Humanity Direct has helped over 2500 children with vital operations - including cataract surgery, skin grafts, neurosurgery and hernia surgery. The current campaign is focused on Uganda.

Humanity Direct runs a number of different initiatives and fund-raisers - and you can either fund individual operations listed on the site, or pay direct into the Universal Fund.
