Neighbours In Need in conjunction  with Aziz Welfare Foundation have launched a £20,000 appeal to provide 2 High Quality fully equipped ambulances for people in the Kashmir region of Pakistan, who cannot afford transport to and from Hospitals /Medical Centres.

While supporting these needy groups through NIN and from recent personal experience of one of the NIN trustees, it has been recognized that there is no adequate services of this kind available in most parts of Kashmir. The ambulances which are available are very basic, without any facilities and equipment in case of an emergency. They do not have any sort of facility for lifting the sick in and out of the Vehicle, they are mostly old and dilapidated. The journey to a local hospital or a medical centre becomes so uncomfortable to the point where the patient’s health can deteriorate even further during the journey.

NIN and Aziz Welfare Foundation initially aims to raise enough
funds to introduce two small fully equipped ambulances, which will be available to ALL but anyone who is not able to afford will not be charged.  However anyone who can afford will pay rates applicable to the journey. The aim is that the revenue generated from patients who can afford will pay for the running cost and wages of staff that will be responsible for the Ambulances.

The whole project will be managed and monitored by 3 local trustees of the Aziz Welfare Foundation, they will decide who is eligible for the free transport and who is not. They will also be responsible for making sure the staffs accurately record their trips and mileage, give good service and they keep the vehicles in good condition. NIN will work alongside Aziz Welfare Foundation to make sure all objectives of the project are met.

We require your urgent help to get this project of the ground. We already have some donations from generous donors to get the appeal started (£1500) but need further donations from everybody to reach the target.

Your help is needed urgently to accomplish the target for this project, all donations of what ever value are gratefully accepted. If you would like to donate then please contact us on 07831761661 or please transfer any donations to the Charities Neighbours in Need Account at Yorkshire Bank:
