Health Project

Essential medical equipment for children and families in Zanzibar.

Health Project

The Health Project focuses on improving access to essential medical equipment for children and families in Zanzibar.

We currently supply:

  • ECG machines – to monitor heart health and detect abnormalities early
  • Oximeters – to measure blood oxygen levels, critical for children with respiratory or cardiac conditions
  • Blood pressure monitors – to track cardiovascular health
  • Essential medications – to treat common but serious conditions

Our goal is to raise funds to purchase heart echo machines for hospitals in Zanzibar. These machines allow doctors to visualise the heart in real time, diagnose congenital conditions, and plan life-saving treatments. Currently, many children go undiagnosed or must travel to the city or the mainland for specialist care – a journey many families cannot afford. By placing echo machines in local hospitals, we can ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to the care they need.

We are currently collecting sanitary products and focusing on health. We are trying to raise money to get an echo machine, and we accept donations such as clothing, stationery, toys and other items in good condition.
