The UK-based charity is grateful for its Ugandan partnership with JOY Hospice in Mbale, run by a lady British doctor, known lovingly as Dr Jan.
The children CoH helps come from very difficult circumstances, and clearly living in a slum is not conducive for good health. Not only does JOY Hospice regularly step in and rescue many of its children, but its staff also support the school's small in-house sick bay. They supply free malaria rapid diagnostic test kits and treatment (co-artem) which helps CoH massively reduce the amount of time children miss from class. Without that help, some of their kids wouldn’t stand a chance. Read more: http://bit.ly/1qzHzQ5
