Communication Workers Union Humanitarian Aid  (Registered Charity Number 1078312)

Our Charity is a direct response to the plight of vulnerable children in other countries. We have sent 30 convoys delivering nearly 2,000 tonnes of much needed aid to hundreds of orphanages, foster & adoption centres and direct to vulnerable families in Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Transnistria, Albania and Lithuania.

We pay no wage, all of the convoy drivers are volunteers. Our volunteers actually deliver the aid direct to the places where it is needed most. This way, Donors can therefore be confident that their generosity will be translated in to aid at the point of need!
The CWUHA office is also run at virtually no cost because thanks to the CWU and BT, we pay no rent, and no phone/email bills.

The 10 lorries and fuel cards are loaned to us free of charge by Royal Mail & BT, along with special leave for the drivers. Our local site for the West Sussex and Hampshire area is www.theaidconvoy.org.

Our next convoy of 10 lorries will be to Panagyurishte Orphanage, Bulgaria, in September 2008.

Disabled and frail older people have a brilliant day out at a gallery or museum with Access to Art, a London based charity. We collect our members from their home in an accessible minibus and our volunteers provide one to one assistance at the gallery. "I didn't believe there would be an organisation the provides this service" said our 99 year old member "I thought it was too good to be true"! Over the year we support over 1000 visits to the galleries such as the Tate, Royal Academy of Arts or the National Gallery. For many isolated and housebound people this has been a real lifeline.

The school started by House of Mercy Children's Home at the Oko Baba Destitute Camp in 2007 has met with tremendous positive response from children, their parents and their guardians. All the children who attend our school live in the Destitute Camp with their parents. Instead of going to school, the children often assist their parents begging for alms. They are a source of income for their parents. Some of the children are handicapped or mentally challenged but are eager to live a childhood that is as normal as possible.
Children are taught in English and Hausa their native language. Snacks are given to the children after school. We educate about 500 children and about 300 attend classes regularly
