Every doctor in the hospital had Covid simultaneously – that was the appalling situation in a Christian hospital in Uganda earlier this year. Africa is still in desperate need of basic PPE equipment – equipment that will save lives.
Praise God that Barnabas Fund has been given around 50 million pieces of Covid PPE by a Western government, worth £25 million ($33m; €30m). Barnabas Fund’s role is to transport the PPE in 40 shipping containers to Christian hospitals who are eagerly waiting in:
- Kenya
- Tanzania
- Uganda
- Zambia
- Zimbabwe

First container is on its way
The door-to-door transport of the contents of one shipping container will cost about £12,000 ($16,000; €14,000). By the time you read this, God willing, the first container will have set out from Dublin for Kenya.
Can you donate to help cover the costs of sending this vital PPE to where it is so desperately needed? The shipping costs are just one penny for each piece of PPE.

Saving lives
Through our medical.gives and food.gives projects we are providing for the needs of our brothers and sisters around the world, with God’s help and yours. We have sent:
- containers of food parcels from the UK to Pakistan and the Middle East;
- containers of chickpeas from Australia to Jordan;
- containers of mixed aid from Australia to Tonga, after the underwater volcano eruption and tsunami;
- containers of aid from the US and UK to help refugees from Ukraine in neighbouring countries, and those in Ukraine itself;
- more than 400 tonnes of ePap (nutrient-rich maize porridge) from South Africa to Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Mozambique – which is enough ePap to restore health to 200,000 malnourished children and adults.
Can you help keep these vital supplies flowing around the world?
