CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE

Whilst corona virus doesn’t care who it infects, Inter Care hasn’t stopped caring. We still care very much about fulfilling our mission to support our partner health units in Africa.

Since 1st July 2020 Inter Care have able to operate on a part time capacity. Please bear with us over the coming months as we gradually return to full strength.

In the run up to Christmas, we are focused on an ‘in country’ purchasing project whereby, Inter Care facilitate the purchase and delivery of healthcare goods and medicines from Action Medoer; a distributor based ‘in country’, to our partner health units in Malawi and Tanzania.

Simultaneously, we are collecting healthcare goods for our third shipping container project. The destination will be Sierra Leone and we already have 50% of the pallets prepared. If the current progress rate continues, we hope to send the container in time for Christmas.

If you have emailed us, we will be in touch with you shortly. Thank you for your patience and for supporting Inter Care.

Diane Hardy, General Manager 28th September 2020
