Eight hospital beds donated by Lewes Victoria Hospital Trust in East Sussex are on their way to an HIV orphanage in South Africa, thanks to TNT, the world-leading provider of express delivery services.
The beds were collected from the hospital by TNT and moved to a warehouse near Heathrow Airport, from where they will be transported by sea to South Africa.
Martin Lowrey, National Operations Manager at TNT, said “We were delighted to help Project HOPE with this collection and were able to use a vehicle which regularly runs between the airport and the Ceva warehouse. Our operations team have first-hand experience of working on overseas programmes with international charities and so really understand the difference that these shipments make to the lives of people in developing countries.”
The beds will provide much-needed furniture in a government-run HIV orphanage in the West Rand province, where the children currently sleep on the floor.
