Scots urged to support SCIAF’s disability work

Scots are being asked to support SCIAF’s work with disabilities this summer. 

Hunger, dirty water, and extreme weather make life relentlessly tough in the places SCIAF works. And for people living with disabilities, these issues make life tougher still. 

Chief Executive Lorraine Currie said:

“Here at SCIAF we believe everyone deserves a good life – a life of peace and fullness. Yet, in many of the places we operate, poverty makes that almost impossible. With your support, SCIAF offers long-term solutions and tangible hope for people that need it the most.”

People like Malia from South Sudan. 

When she was first born, her head began to swell due to hydrocephalus – a life-threatening condition – but with no treatment available, she was sent home. Living in extreme poverty, Malia faced hunger, isolation, and a daily fight for survival. 

Thanks to SCIAF’s partner SEM, however, everything has since changed. Malia was able to get life-changing surgery across the border in Uganda, giving her a second chance. 

Lorraine added:

“We couldn’t serve people like Malia without our generous supporters in Scotland. In all of our projects around the world, we tackle exclusion, inequality, stigma, and discrimination head on. But we need your help for this transformative work to continue."
