The vision
The charity’s main objective is the relief and prevention of disease working closely together with local community developments and initiatives.
The vision is the establishment of homeopathy as a recognised part of the health care system in Africa and Ghana in particular, as the projects focus of activity.
The charity supports the development of homeopathic education and vocational facilities together with local partners in health care and Government.
The vision is to make homeopathy available to the poorest communities as a valid and affordable treatment and to support health education.
The project works towards integrated health care with respect for the contribution of both conventional and traditional medicine.
We work with the Ghanaian code of Ethics and Practice for Traditional and Alternative Medicine and promote best professional practice.
The vision is of clinics throughout the region which make the best use of existing and emergent health care practices and which are managed and supported locally.
The aim is to contribute towards a sustainable and self reliant integrated health care service.
This vision is shared with the Ghanaian Health Ministry Department of Traditional and Alternative Medicine and with many local health care practitioners and communities.
To achieve the vision
Our work so far
In Mafi Seva villages in the Volta region we work in partnership with an integrated clinic with 5 local student homeopaths under supervision, to provide health care and education to people in 25 villages. The clinic works together with a clean water project and Kekeli women, a health and social education project.
We work in partnership with Ghana Centre for Homeopathy and Natural health and local homeopaths in Accra to provide mobile clinics in slum areas. These also operate as training clinics for local students of homeopathy.
In Kumasi, the Northern city, we have begun working with Ghanaian homeopaths and a local Doctor to provide integrated health care and outreach clinics.
The UK team fund raises, provides resources, promotes the project, manages the project together with the trustees and partners in Ghana, and runs a volunteer programme to support and facilitate the aims.
The UK team is Linda Shannon, Grace Da Silva-Hill, Sheila Ryan and Angelika Metzger

The Maun Homeopathy Project
Healing for Strength and Survival
MHP is a registered charity (No. 1109958) founded by Hilary Fairclough and Philippa Brewster in 2002:
* establishing a permanent and free homeopathic service for women, men and children living with HIV and AIDS and/or traumatised by rape in Maun, Botswana
* working in partnership with agencies in the local community
* offering holistic care to people suffering from illness, trauma, grief and stigma
* travelling light with a mobile clinic providing an outreach service for those most in need
* recruiting and supporting local people to train in homeopathy to an internationally recognised standard
A Community in Crisis
Since 2002, The Maun Homeopathy Clinic has been running free homeopathy outreach clinics in Maun, a fast growing town in the north of Botswana, where over 35% of the people are infected with HIV or AIDS, one of the highest rates in the world.
We are now recruiting for volunteers to work in Maun for 6 - 12 week stretches. The clinics, which treat people living with HIV and/or traumatised by rape, are firmly established in the community and the work we continue to do is challenging, rewarding and often inspiring. In Maun you would be involved in providing a service that makes a huge difference to individuals, seeing lives turned around and treating serious pathology which we rarely see in our private practices. It is an intense professional and personal development opportunity. Our best testament is that homeopaths who've already been there go back for more!
We have recently recruited 3 local people to be trainees in homeopathy. The School of Homeopathy in Devon has donated us places for them on their Distance Learning Course. We think this is an important and exciting development leading towards sustainability of the Project and contributing towards the creation of a firm homeopathic base in Botswana. If you decided to volunteer, your role would therefore involve supporting the trainees who will be interpreting in the clinics as part of their apprenticeship learning, and running weekly tutorials for them.
The charity does its utmost to prepare you before you go by running induction days, and to support you while you are there by providing personal telephone supervision from dedicated volunteer homeopath supervisors in the UK. You would also get regular telephone management support. Further there are key people in Maun who support the homeopaths when they are there.
At the moment we ask that volunteers pay for their own air fare which costs between £650 - £850 depending on the time of year. In the future we hope to have funds available to contribute towards your flight but meanwhile we would support you in an fundraising you might need to do before going. The charity pays for all your living expenses while you are there.

Travelling Homoeopaths Collective

They have four clinics covering The North, West and South.
The Clinics offer treatment for acute conditions, such as hay fever, sun stroke, sunburn, digestive upsets, coughs, and colds, all common occurrences at such events. We also offer advice and support for people who have chronic or more long-term disorders and diseases as well as this we promote Homoeopathy.
The Collective is made up of Qualified, Registered and Insured Homoeopaths who work on a voluntary basis. All donations received go towards maintenance, travel expenses, and the further promotion of Homoeopathy.
