Public benefits

The beneficiaries of the charity are the general public. The direct benefits which flow from the propose include the development of activities that will lead to a reduction in poverty and deprivation and better conditions e.g. providing financial support to communities in need of support. Another direct benefit is the provision of good equipment

and a better opportunity to be properly diagnosed. Financial support is provided to clinics which leads to a better standard of living and better equipment to work with. These benefits are demonstrated through the churches which are then able to reach out to their communities and are also able to help others. In relation to the second purpose, through involvement with our charity members’ horizons are broadened and enhanced when identifying and providing help to the poor and needy in underprivileged areas of the world. There is no harm or private benefit from the purposes of the organisation.
