Charity of the Month:
Medical and Scientific Aid for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (MSAVLC)
Medical and Scientific Aid for Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (MSAVLC), is a registered charity that was originally established in 1965. Since then it has been
providing aid to some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people in South-East Asia. The aim of the charity is to promote good health and relieve sickness,
by providing aid, supplies and equipment to health-related organisations in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Their support meets a wide range of needs
but focuses particularly on children, and those whose lives have been blighted by poverty or the aftermath of war and strife. Such support includes:
- Provision of equipment and treatment of congenital abnormalities due to toxic chemicals (mainly Agent Orange)
- Provision of medical equipment to hospitals and orphanages
- Medical and financial support for paraplegics and quadriplegics
- First aid and healthcare for orphanage children
- Provision of audiology and ear care equipment and training
- Training courses for traditional midwives
- Building wells and providing clean water systems
- Support for vulnerable, elderly and disabled people
The charity is run exclusively by volunteers. Overheads are minimal; every possible penny goes to where it is needed. By concentrating
on primary health and responding to specific requests it is surprising what even modest funding can achieve.
