NEARLY 15 YEARS OF SAVING CHILDREN’S LIVES

Angels International is a registered medical charity working in Eastern Europe. Their primary aim is to help save the lives of children whose suffering is caused or intensified by economic impoverishment or environmental disaster. This the charity currently achieves through the regular supply of medical aid and by educating and training local doctors and surgeons through close links with their UK counterparts.

YESTERDAY

In 1989, Michael Buerk’s award winning television documentary ‘A Poisoned Inheritance’ exposed the desperate plight of children with leukaemia in heavily polluted areas in Poland. It was in response to this that Angels International was founded.

An aid project was firmly established for several years until the increased prosperity of Poland generated self-help movements within the hospital and Angels moved on to work in Bosnia, Sarajevo and Split. In 1995 Angels was approached to help the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Minsk, Belarus and the charity’s long term commitment to this country began.

TODAY

The focus of Angels has always been two-fold; providing immediate medical aid and giving educational opportunities to local healthcare professionals. This combined approach guarantees improvement in the health of the hundreds of children we help each year.
