Train a Health Worker; £38

Health visitors probably have a fairly different life in Haiti or in Sudan or in Bolivia to the one that a lady such as the one in the picture would have known. Training and refresher courses in health awareness, counselling and hygiene would be something that both would recognise though - even if the courses took pretty different forms.

Health visitors are in the frontline of preventative healthcare - always better to have avoided something completely than to have to sort it out after it's gone wrong, especially somewhere where medical resources may be very limited. This present will improve and save many lives - and the best part is that they won't even necessarily know what they've been saved from!
