In 2022, Vaculug Ltd launched a further initiative to support our communities known as ‘Abundance Africa’. This initiative was created with the aim of extending support to poverty-stricken areas across Africa. Recognising the pressing needs in these regions, Vaculug committed to making a tangible impact through strategic and generous contributions.
Currently we are supporting two projects in Africa:
1 – Bicycle Ambulances
Every year, with the support of Transaid, we provide numerous Bicycle Ambulances across Africa. The Bicycle Ambulance project is designed to improve access to emergency healthcare in remote areas where transportation is often scarce or unaffordable.
The first bicycle ambulance, designed and donated by Vaculug, was successfully delivered in 2024 to a community in Tanzania. This innovative solution has already demonstrated its value by saving the lives of a woman and her children in the village, highlighting the vital role of such interventions in underserved regions.
This initiative’s success is a result of our collaboration with Transaid, an organisation renowned for its commitment to enhancing transport and logistics in developing countries. Transaid’s crucial support has been essential in implementing this life-saving project. By utilising simple yet effective technology, Vaculug and Transaid are making a significant impact on the lives of individuals in these communities, providing them with a vital lifeline during medical emergencies.
2 – BOMU HOSPITAL KENYA
One of the standout efforts under the Abundance Africa initiative was the support provided to the Bomu Hospital in Mombasa. Bomu Hospital is renowned for its extensive healthcare services, not only within its facility but also through its outreach programs that serve the rural communities in Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kale counties. Understanding the critical role of sustainability in ensuring the longevity and efficacy of healthcare services, Vaculug worked with its Chief Sustainability Advisor to build a sustainability strategy and sustainability report for BOMU. The Sustainability strategy and report is a vital tool for Bomu Hospital as it lays out the framework for maintaining and enhancing their healthcare services, ensuring they can continue to deliver essential care to those in need. This report encompasses strategies for resource management, community health initiatives, and long-term plans for improving healthcare accessibility. Most importantly it also allows the hospital to ensure it can raise awareness and money with the international aid community.
