Vine Trust

Vine Trust is an international interdenominational volunteering charity which seeks to enable volunteers to make a real and significant difference to some of the poorest children and communities in the world. We welcome people from all backgrounds who share our ethos of caring and our belief that whilst we can’t help everyone we can all help someone. Healthcare, children and education have been key priorities as we build the capacity of our local partners to meet local needs. Currently our Amazon Hope Medical Programme provides a healthcare service for over patients annually in Peru through our two medical ships, with further expansion planned. Alongside this, we plan to replicate our Amazon Hope healthcare model on Lake Victoria, Tanzania by 2015, with the aim of establishing a healthcare service for isolated communities in this area and reaching a further people who are in need of access to basic healthcare services. To date we have built 8 Girasoles childrens homes in Peru and continue to send out teams to support the work of our partners in Peru. Our children’s work also entered a new era with our work building childrens centres and family homes in Tanzania. So far we have built 4 childrens centres and over 30 family homes.
