HHC has been working in Moldova since 2001 where they have played an integral role in the creation of a national network of 53 small family homes providing a stable, caring environment for children who cannot be raised by their birth and extended families. As with the work that we have previously funded in Ukraine, HHC's work involves closing state institutions and placing the children into loving family homes
Marie Curie Cancer Care is one of the UK’s largest charities. It is best known for its network of Marie Curie Nurses working in the community to provide end-of-life care for patients in their own homes and its 10 hospices across the UK.
By employing more than 2,700 nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals, the charity expects to provide care to around 27,000 terminally ill patients in the community and in its hospices this year, along with offering much needed support for their families. Marie Curie Cancer Care mainly cares for people with cancer but it also cares for people with other life limiting illnesses. Its services are always free of charge to patients and their families.
2011 marks our 13th year in partnership with Marie Curie.
