Our helpers
People who deliver the help
The fund is not an office full of paperwork. Behind every delivery of groceries and medicine is one of our five helpers, who knows the people in their care personally and comes back to them again and again.
They work in their own neighbourhoods
Each helper knows the people nearby: who lives alone, who cannot afford medicine.
They check every request
A helper sees the person's situation with their own eyes rather than deciding from documents.
They deliver the help themselves
Groceries and medicine are handed over in person, and every delivery is photographed.
The fund's team
