Our Charity

Building Health and Changing Lives

Each year the Aesthetic Skin Clinic supports a charity. We are always looking for something that will change lives and make a sustainable difference. Dr Curran says ‘’Sometimes patients say to me that they feel guilty about having treatments and are delighted to know that they are contributing to something really special.’’

This year we are working with Skinstation in conjunction with the Tumaini Charity, to put to good use your contribution to our success, training dispensers and building village dispensaries in one of the poorest parts of Africa, Tanzania, thus giving thousands of underprivileged people access to vital healthcare for the first time. Most of the students are orphans themselves and will come back to the villages where they have grown up, bringing education, medical help and hopefully inspiring a whole new generation to be motivated to seek further education. Tumaini workers assess specific needs in orphan families and initially supply food needs, blankets, grain etc; they have a programme to rebuild derelict family-houses and support establishing “chekacheas”, nursery schools, for younger orphans, encouraging churches to set them up and helping equip them, then the older children are freed to go to school, knowing that the younger children are safe, while the young ones can be given the stimulation of early education.
