Greggs Clinic, Gunjur
As well as creating and supporting new nursery facilities at Gunjur (see Mariama Mae Nursery), the Trust has also helped create a new clinic for the town.
The clinic was an initiative sparked by the generosity of employees of Greggs of the Midlands, and the donations they made when their managing director Alan Dick retired after many years at the helm.

The result is two well appointed rooms including a sick bay, and a medicine cabinet which is well stocked with the paracetemol, basic malarial and ringworm treatment drugs, disinfectant cream, bandages and plasters needed to cater for well over 1,500 children.
This is the first medical facility the school has ever had, and it is likely to be pretty much all the medical care that most of the children will ever get. Even if they are really sick there won’t be that much more help available, not unless they are incredibly lucky and find someone to sponsor them – usually a kind-hearted tourist.
