PURLEY OVERSEAS TRUST
Tue, Jan 7th 2020 at 1:00 pm -
Guest Speaker Linda Cutbill
About one quarter of the world’s population of nearly 7 billion people live in areas of developing countries where the necessities of life – a healthy diet, clean water and access to medical aid and education – are inadequate. As a result, children grow up physically and intellectually stunted, with few prospects and short life expectancy.
POST seeks to increase awareness in the Purley and District area of the problems of deprivation in developing countries, and to alleviate them by supporting small-scale projects which allow the people there to help themselves. Since POST was formed in 1984 over £230,000 has been collected and spent on a variety of projects in many parts of the world. Often POST works with organisations which are on the spot such as Sight Savers, SOS Sahel and Water Aid, but POST also supports individual projects in Agriculture, Medicine, Education and Sociology.
