TEAM REFUGE

Imagine yourself working in a refugee camp, coming across a child with acute appendicitis and knowing that without urgent medical attention that child could die.  The nearest hospital is a long distance away and to transport that child there costs money.  To pay for the surgery also costs money.  As a humanitarian worker you are able to identify the need but you don’t always have the funds in your budget to do what you know needs to be done.

Team Refuge is a UK registered charity designed to assist in exactly this sort of situation – to fill the budgetary gap. Children should not die simply because the specific costs of evacuation haven’t been budgeted for in medium term program planning.  This is not a health care fund, nor is it a medical NGO.  There are others who successfully fulfil that role. Team Refuge helps to fill a specific funding gap, enabling experts in the field to save precious lives.
