We’re so grateful for your support at our two fundraising events last month which raised money for vital equipment for St Luke’s Hospital. A new X-ray machine, diagnostic ultrasound, haematology analyser, and computers and printers are now on their way to the hospital. 1/2

St Luke's is in the rural area of Chipata in Zambia. The hospital opened in April 2023 and treated 3,000 patients in its first month. The new equipment will be operational in November and will make a huge difference to healthcare in this severely impoverished area.

Storm Agnes had her way yesterday at @BellewstownRace but we had a great day and an amazing performance from both teams, though @FrankieDettori managed to pip @WillieMullinsNH to claim the Barney Curley DAFA Charity Cup again.🏆🏆🏆

Look out for the orange DAFA buckets at @BellewstownRace today! All money raised will go directly to our projects in #Zambia. Even a small donation can go a long way to supporting those in need. Thank you! Take a look at some of our projects below 1/7

The Community Skill Project in Ndola funds a three-month, community-based skills training programme in plumbing, electrics, and welding. With money raised at last year’s racing, DAFA purchased safety gear and clothing, and paid for hot meals for all students. 6/7

If you can spare something today, please do add it to the big orange buckets. A little goes a long way in Zambia, and at DAFA, every penny, of every donation goes directly where it's needed most. Thank you, we couldn't do it without you!
