DONATIONS, SPONSORSHIP & FUNDING

An elective does cost a fair bit and whilst Karen has heavily invested in her education & career to care for others within the NHS and her local community, there comes a point where reaching out to others for help becomes a necessity.

All donations will help towards travelling costs, accommodation, insurance cover (Unison have donated indemnity cover) & booking costs of getting to the placement, the cost of buying scrubs as the uniform Karen has from the University of East Anglia, will not be appropriate for the Tanzanian climate. Karen would like to be able to take latex gloves with her and other items such as disposable tourniquets  that she can protect herself & others when there and then be able to leave them for local staff and other students when she comes back to the UK.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Karen will gratefully accept donations of funding, sponsorship or individual items that are required.

If you are able to kindly help with this valuable volunteering work & learning experience in this, sadly, much stigmatised area of health care, then please donate via the PayPal or Go Fund Me  links below.

Karen also needs items to go on the volunteer working elective and an Amazon wishlist has been set up highlighting those products if you prefer to help and donate in that manner rather than cash donations, or please contact Karen to discuss how you can / want to help sponsor her or otherwise help fund the  working volunteer elective placement in a mental health setting in a Tanzanian hospital.

Karen is aiming to raise £2000.

What is needed?

Other than the much needed funding, various items will be required to either help keep Karen safe, protected & clean, such as scrubs, gloves, alcohol gel and aprons or items that will help her avoid injury & mishap such as sun protection, mosquito repellents & netting to water purification.

For a full list of what is needed please click here to see them on this site or please look at the Amazon wishlist.

Karen has used a very reputable, renowned & well respected firm to help her organise the elective. Work the World operate in many different countries to ensure that global students and local hospitals, clinics and other health led initiatives enjoy a mutually beneficial working and knowledge sharing relationship.
