Since 2001, we have: raised approx £25,000 to rebuild the Maternity hospital paid for a nurse to train as a midwife supported numerous Maternity and Safe Motherhood projects We are committed to raising another £8,000 over 3 years to pay for Midwifery training. The Maternity extension will cost over £20,000 - over however long it takes. But don't be put off by the big numbers - at the other end of the scale, £20 will pay for a Caesarean section, and £2 will pay for a normal delivery. Every penny received by Shyira Trust goes to the projects it was intended for, so please be generous. Even a few pounds can save a life - small change makes a big difference.

I have been running for over 25 years, having done my first run (actually run-walk-jog-walk) on Good Friday 1984. I ran my first race, the Mersey Marathon, in September of that year, and joined my first running club the following year. Since then, I have run many marathons, half marathons, 10-milers, 10k's, track races, cross-country races and even fell races. I have run in all weathers, in many countries and on 3 continents. My connection with Rwanda is more recent, dating back to 2000 when a friend visited Rwanda. His descriptions of his experiences, and his photos led to a group of 11 people from Formby visiting Rwanda in 2001. My wife and I were among that group, and we have been back several times since, the most recent being in January 2011. I am one of the founder trustees of the Shyira Trust, a Formby-based charity whose aims are the relief of poverty, the provision of healthcare and the advancement of education in Rwanda. These blogs attempts to combine 2 of my major

The purpose of this blog is to pass on news and views relating to charity work being carried on in Shyira, a small village in North-West Rwanda.

I will give info on its work, on any new fundraising efforts, and will also give details of any forthcoming events and any achievements by the charity or any of our supporters. Shyira Trust works to relieve poverty, promote health, and advance education in Rwanda, especially in and around Shyira. This blog will report on many events and achievements, primarily, but not exclusively, those related to maternal health, midwifery training and safe motherhood. Thanks - now feel free to see details of the work of the Shyira Trust, especially the work for the Maternity Hospital - http://shyi
