ELoH provides life-changing support for children who have lost their limbs through war, accidents, and lack of access to medical care. Victoria, on the left, was only five when a wall collapsed on her leg in Liberia, forcing it to be amputated and leaving her isolated. Thanks to ELoH’s support, Victoria is now being fitted with a new prosthetic leg, attends school with her friends, and is hopeful about her future. Through the generosity of our supporters in the UK, ELoH provides new limbs, surgery, education, and advocacy for the world’s most vulnerable amputees. We believe all child amputees deserve to live a happy and healthy life. Your help can bring us closer to making this happen.
We are very excited indeed to announce the publication of ‘Elizabeth’s Poetry of Hope’ – an anthology telling the story of Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope in poetry and prose; the poems have all been especially written by published and unpublished poets – and the children themselves from each of the countries we work in. This was generously printed by Clays Printing in Bungay and special thanks to Patron Ian Whybrow for all he did to help bring this together.
This special book is just £10; available on Amazon. Proceeds to ELoH (of course!). You need never be stuck for a present again!
The Recycled Weasel shop has recently raised over £50, with sales of Christmas baubles and Elizabeth’s Poetry of Hope books. Thank you very much to Michelle and Paul for your wonderful on-going support. The Recycled Weasel sells ethically sourced and recycled gifts, household items and clothes – in Victoria Bacon’s words (ELoH trustee) “It is a lovely, special, unusual, fascinating and glorious emporium, and you will never leave empty handed!
Well done to our wonderful Young Ambassador Henry, who spent his Christmas holidays selling goods to raise vital funds for the charity, collecting £151.
Please read our recent report by our project worker Jacob, which tells how very important our work is to our amputees; firstly enabling them to walk, but also in lots of other vital ways – which Jacob explains. We are very grateful to him, and to his team, for caring so much – as we are able to enable him to do, because of your generosity. Thank you!
Please help Ian support the ELOH with his Poetry with Legs Marathon
“We are very proud to share this video with you of Pollyanna Hope, not only one of our four ‘Young Ambassadors’ but also the inspiration, with her grand-mother Elizabeth, of Elizabeth’s Legacy of Hope. Pollyanna is very fortunate to have a special ‘ballet leg’ enabling her to dance which she not only loves, but as you will see, she does beautifully.” To find out more about Pollyanna’s progress, please also read the interview.” > Pollyanna Story

The Flycatcher is the fictional story of an African boy, killed at a vast palm oil plantation in Sierra Leone. No-one knows his name, where he has come from, or how he came to work on the estate … as the mystery surrounding these distressing circumstances are investigated, revelations about corruption at the heart of government are revealed. This is Christine Cubitt’s first novel; she is generously donating 50% of the profits from sales to ELoH. Thank you so very much. Christine has a doctorate based on research of the international peacebuilding mission in Sierra Leone; her work has been commissioned by the World Bank – her work on African governance has also taken her to Liberia, Senegal, Rwanda, Tanzania and Mozambique. Her move to fiction is inspired by the lives of the people she has met on her travels.
THANK YOU to Sapphire Hope and the Ladies of the University of Bristol Ladies Lacrosse 1st Team – who raised over £570 for ELoH at a charity match against Cardiff University, on 30th November. Sapphire, daughter of ELoH co-founder Sarah Hope, said they all had a wonderful time (and Bristol won – just!)
THANK YOU to the kindness of people in Bungay for buying our special (made in India) Christmas baubles – £220 so far – more to follow!
