HELP ACROSS THE WORLD
Computers 4 Africa
This Kent-based charity works to take redundant IT equipment from schools,
businesses, individuals and organisations and takes them to Africa where they
can completely transform the lives of those living and working there. Not only
this does this help those in poorer African communities connect with the outside
world and perhaps even start a business of their own, but it is also good for the
environment as computing equipment that would have gone to landfill is reused
instead.
Donations given to Computers 4 Africa also go towards training people in
Africa how to teach computing and fix any IT issues to ensure that the computers
are put to the best use.

Safe Anaesthesia Worldwide
Although we are lucky enough to be able to take safe anaesthesia for granted,
there are millions of people around the world who don’t have that luxury, and for
them, routine operations can become fatal due to dangerous anaesthesia practices,
or even lack of anaesthesia altogether. Safe Anaesthesia Worldwide aims to train
staff, and donate equipment and medicines so that people no longer have to die
unnecessarily.

Big Cat Sanctuary – Wildlife Heritage Trust
With so many beautiful big cats endangered, the Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden
offers perfect conditions for successful breeding programmes to go ahead. And
it’s not just big cats either – small cats are just as welcome and all are included
within the European Endangered Species Breeding Programme. There are many
different experiences you can book that help to fund this sanctuary including
ranger for the day, photography days and big cat encounters.
