Help Keep Our Medical Ships Sailing

A word from the Vine Trust...

Jacqui is fundraising in aid of Vine Trust.

Vine Trust is an international development charity which connects volunteers from around the world with sustainable and effective projects which support some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Working closely with in-country partners, Vine Trust seeks to empower local people to achieve their full potential, through the provision of primary healthcare, secure accommodation, and social care and support.

To date, Vine Trust has provided over 2.5 million healthcare consultations on the Peruvian Amazon and Lake Victoria, Tanzania. Our partners and volunteers have also completed almost 150 family homes in Moshi, Tanzania, as well as the first homes at Kazunzu "Village of Hope" on the shore of Lake Victoria, providing security, shelter and a brighter future for vulnerable children and families.

Donations made through this page will contribute towards the work of Vine Trust, including the upkeep and development of the charity’s international programmes.

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

Fundraising Activity

Our medical ships deliver vital healthcare to remote communities who would otherwise have little or no access to medical treatment. On every trip, our dedicated teams provide free clinics, medicines, and care to families living far from hospitals. But a new challenge has emerged. The current global situation has caused a dramatic and unexpected rise in fuel costs, and this is having a direct impact on our financial ability to keep our ships operating.

Our medical ships must be fuelled regularly to travel along the Amazonian rivers of Peru and Lake Victoria in Tanzania, reaching isolated communities who depend on these visits for essential healthcare. Because of rising fuel prices, we now need to find an additional £680 every month just to keep our ships moving. This is the figure at the time of publishing this page, it is likely to rise further over the coming days and weeks. We simply don’t know how long these increased costs will continue, but what we do know is this: the need for medical care has not changed.

That’s why we are launching this appeal. Your support today will help ensure that our ships can continue travelling to the people who rely on them. If you are able, please consider giving today and sharing this appeal with others. Thank you for your support.
