Amazon Hope Medical Expedition

A word from the Vine Trust...

Claire is fundraising in aid of their Vine Trust Medical Expedition to the Peruvian Amazon. Amazon Hope Medical Expeditions are an opportunity for volunteers to make a real and lasting difference to communities living on the Peruvian Amazon. Working in partnership with our in-country clinical teams, volunteers provide primary healthcare services to remote and isolated riverine communities, aboard our fully-equipped medical vessels, Amazon Hope 2 and Forth Hope. Vine Trust Medical Expeditions provide free, life-changing clinical testing, treatment and education to communities who would otherwise have little or no access to basic healthcare.

Donations made through this page will contribute towards the cost of Claire's expedition, including international flights, accommodation, food, in-country transport, and a donation towards the medical programme. Any additional funds raised will go towards the maintenance and development of the Amazon Hope Medical Programme.

Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Please note: Vine Trust does not accept responsibility for the fundraising activities of persons fundraising in aid of their expedition or the Trust. Any views expressed on this page are solely those of the named fundraiser and/or their donors, not Vine Trust.

Fundraising Activity

I am a GP trainee in North Wales and I will be travelling to Peru in September with the Vine Trust, staying aboard one of their medical vessels whilst we travel up and down the Amazon providing medical care to remote communities who would otherwise be without access to local medical help. The trip is approximately 2 weeks long and I will be travelling with other volunteers as well as alongside local Peruvian medical practitioners.We'll be managing anything from minor injuries to obstetric care and the odd tropical disease. Having spent 2 months of my medical elective in Tanzania as a student, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something similar again as it was the most rewarding experience. Anything you can donate towards the cost of the expedition will be most appreciated.
