Comic Relief is a major charity based in the UK, with a vision of a just world, free from poverty. We work all year round to help make our vision a reality. And in the years since we started out in 1985, with the support of some remarkable people, we鈥檝e achieved amazing things and raised over 拢950 million for people in great need in the UK and across Africa.

The emphasis is on matching up money raised on Red Nose Day with local skills and effort and determination. This Red Nose Day we want to raise money to improve healthcare across Africa and we鈥檇 love you to be part of the story, from helping us to provide life-saving vaccines and mosquito nets to training medical staff.

In Iyolwa in Eastern Uganda Dorothy delivered babies at night by the light of her mobile phone. She was so short staffed that one night she even delivered someone鈥檚 baby on the same night that she delivered her own. She is so loved that over 50 babies in her town have been called Dorothy, after her.

The old clinic in Iyolwa where there were rats on the floors, bats in the roof and running water聽and聽electricity聽were聽a distant dream.聽

After an appeal on Radio 1, enough money was raised for a new maternity ward in a new Comic Relief funded clinic. This was made possible by 21,000 listeners who donated 拢3 each after hearing Dorothy tell her story.聽

The clinic opened last week and is now ready to serve the 18,000 people who depend on it. It shows what Comic Relief can achieve with the support of people like you.聽
