Who is 'Help Uganda'?

Liz Humphreys

Liz worked as an occupational therapist before deciding in 2003 to return to Uganda where she had lived many years before. The needs are so great that it was hard to decide how best to help but in the end she decided to help the neediest children go to school. She lives in the islands for most of the year but returns to England every year for a short time.
