05 Nov Matriks and Zoom are delighted to be supporting Mercy Ships
We are delighted to be supporting @mercyshipsuk. Together we are working to #ChangeTheOdds for some of the poorest people in Senegal and West Africa. Mercy Ships provide more than free #surgeries, they also train and mentor local healthcare professionals like Benin’s first reconstructive surgeon, Dr Agbessi.
“When I was 12, I saw a woman on TV… her husband had burned her with acid – her face had become fused to her neck, so she could never look a person in the eye.”
From that moment Dr Agbessi knew what she wanted to become. This is her story.
This project is also supported by the UK government who will match all donations made before the 31st of Dec. Find out more here: www.mercyships.org.uk/changetheodds
