Sponsor
Sponsoring those less fortunate than ourselves is a popular method of charitable giving. And so we have developed Patient to Prisoner (P2P)…
Millions of patients in High Income Countries (HICs) have long-term conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy and hypertension. High quality treatment is often extremely cheap or even free at the point of delivery. Even behind bars, good treatment is usually available; in the UK for example, all prisoners get completely free healthcare, thanks to the British National Health Service. Yet in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), it's often a different tale: countless prisoners lack even basic treatment for their long-term conditions.
P2P facilitates a HIC patient with a certain long-term condition sponsoring an LMIC prisoner with the same condition: for example, a British diabetic sponsors a prisoner's diabetes treatment and a French asthmatic sponsors another prisoner's asthma treatment. That said, you are free to sponsor someone with a different illness and of course we also welcome healthy sponsors!
Unless you choose to sponsor a prisoner on an ongoing basis, our sponsorship scheme is a simple one-off donation to cover a single year's treatment. Sadly we can't permit direct contact with your sponsored prisoner, due to the sensitivities surrounding imprisonment, but your sponsorship certificate will detail their illness and country of detention. We can also issue certificates in the name of someone else: so, if there's a special person in your life with a particular long-term condition, why not mark their birthday by sponsoring a prisoner with the same condition?
