Chauncy Maples - Lake Malawi's Clinic

Chauncy Maples is the oldest floating ship in Africa. Built in Glasgow in 1899 she was carried in pieces to Lake Malawi in Central Africa. The Government of Malawi is renovating her back into a mobile clinic bringing basic healthcare to 500,000 lakeside people. More info.

Please help us raise the £2m (US$3m) that will make this happen.
