Lift a girl - give her a future
For many girls living in this remote part of India, a future career is something they would often only dream of aspiring to, often being sold into marriage as young as 12 years old. You can change this by funding nursing training for a young woman living in the community. This will make a dramatic difference to her hopes and aspirations, also helping bring change to her family and community.”
We are currently hoping to raise £1,100 every 6 months to help pay for two girls to do their 3-year nursing degree at The Duncan. This involves all costs including training and accommodation.
Help us pay for vital baby equipment
Babies born prematurely do not have enough fat to regulate their body temperature and often die, with 450 premature babies dying every hour across the world. India has the highest rate of pre-term baby deaths in the world but most of these deaths can be prevented. Life-saving baby equipment such as phototherapy machines, infant warmers, and o2 machines, can prevent such unnecessary deaths. You can fund vital baby equipment for this hospital, such as an infant warmer that costs only £912.”
The total for these pieces of equipment is £10,800. Please note 100% of all donations go to the Duncan Hospital.
New Nursing School - next big project

This was opened in February 2020 the next big project is the building of the much anticipated Nursing School building which we are part-funding with EMMS as it is such a large project.

If you would like to help with the next part which is donations towards the costs of equipping the building, please do consider a donation. 100% of all donations go to The Duncan Hospital.
Old versus the new - a huge step forwards
We and all the staff, are very excited about the new Nursing School Project. It has been a huge undertaking, we joined forces with EMMS to help fund this new building.
The old Nursing School was in a damp, cramped old building that flooded for much of the year and was really unsuitable. The fantastic new building is a much-anticipated addition to the hospital's infrastructure. We look forward to seeing generations of nurses train here.
