Healthcare

Life in the poorest rural communities of South India has enough challenges already, without the devastating consequences a difficult diagnosis or prolonged illness can bring. Without our support, many families affected by HIV, children with disabilities, elderly invalids and those struggling with common diseases would have no access to the care, treatment and help they need. The loss of a breadwinner due to ill health can tip families into destitution.

    In memory of Eddie Miller

As an old boy of St Peter's School and past Chairman of the Past Pupils' Association, he was part of a committee raising funds for Reaching the Unreached, an association that has lasted over 50 years. It would be a fitting tribute to my father's memory for us to help RTU support the poorest of the poor in India
