St Francis Hospital Zambia
Don’t let your toilet be an only child – give them a twin!
NHS Borders have been partnered with St Francis Hospital Zambia since 2008. The hospital is the only hospital in the local region, serving up to a million people. The capacity of the hospital has grown out of necessity, but there is a desperate need for good waste and sewage systems.
NHS Scotland are hoping to raise a contribution towards the projected £200,000 cost of the new hospital expansion, and we can all help by twinning a toilet!
Twinning your toilet costs £60, which in the average year will work out at less than 5p a flush. You will receive a twin certificate to display on your door, . Do please consider supporting the hospital in this way.
Details can be found on www.justgiving.com/page/twinyourtoilet or www.logielegacy.com
If you’re not able to donate online, you can always pay by cheque, payable to ‘The Logie Legacy’ and post it to: - The Logie Legacy, c/o Dr Katie Stewart, Department of Anaesthesia, Borders General Hospital, Huntleyburn Terrace, Melrose, TD6 9BS.
Thank you.
