Supporting Health In Africa

The Sheaf Trust is a UK based charity formed by three Homeopaths. They came to the realisation through contacts in Kenya that there is a great need for support amongst people who are living and working full time in the fields of comple-mentary health in sometimes very isolated situations.

The Sheaf trustees aim to give long term support to practitioners in Africa and to arrange sponsors for African students who want to complete their training in Homeopathy.

The focus at present is on Homeopathy, but the charity recognises that Africa needs a multifaceted approach to health. The immediate need is for financial support, donations of any size are welcome. If you feel you would like more information about sponsoring a student please ask for details.

Anna is pictured here with her grandchildren. She looks after them since their mother died and attends the homeopathic clinic in Mtwapa, Kenya.

“This lady lives not too far from the clinic, so she can get to it, it’s hard as she has to carry one of the children on her back... and she is old!  I am not sure what she would do if the clinic wasn’t there.  The nearest hospital is hours away, and all drugs are very expensive’.

This is where it all started...

• We’ve helped in the funding of the Kumasi clinic in Ghana and helped to inform potential patients of its services
• We’ve helped the studies of Homeopaths in Ghana
• We’ve been helping fund homeopaths towards setting up their own clinics in Kenya
• We’ve been buying Homeopathic remedies for use in Africa
