STV Malawi Christmas Appeal - mears wants you to help

42 replies

mears · 12/12/2006 19:20

appeal here

I recently went to Malawi and visited Bottom Hospital. Please 'google' Bottom hospital and you will see why it needs help.

Scotland has strong link with Malawi and money is being raised to rebuild the hospital.

A great Christmas present would be for mumsnetters to help desparate mothers in Botton Hospital.

They have nothing. No sheets on the beds. The women bring in a black garbage bag and a piece of cloth to lie on to give birth. They then wash their bag and cloth in the filthy showers afterwards. I can reassure you that every penny is going to rebuild the hospital.

Please give anything you can.
