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 delighted we have been invited to apply for places for runners to take part in the (London) Royal Parks Half Marathon, taking place this year on 9th October. Last year we had 11 runners who between them raised over £13,000! Here they are – exhausted but happy – the route takes runners through the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens. (Only!) 16,000 places are available for around 500 charities represented – this event is always over-subscribed, so if you would like us to apply for a place on your behalf please contact: manager@elizabethslegacyofhope.org as soon as possible. We would ask please that commit to raising £250, which will cover the fee. We look forward to hearing from you! And for more information click here: (royalparkshalf.com)

During the reporting period under consideration, Indians were concerned about the 3rd wave of Covid-19. Fortunately, it was brought under control thanks to widespread immunization, strict adherence to the Covid-19 protocol, and other preventative measures that reduced the mortality toll. Regulations governing public mobility have nearly ceased, and public transportation has returned to normal.
The ELOH-India team took advantage of the occasion and sent our mobile unit to Telangana, where measurements were collected for six new kid amputees. Members of the local Rotary Club in Bhadradri Kothagudem District assisted us in taking measurements on their campus for 3 child amputees. Our senior technician Mr.Sunny John, Assistant technician Mrs.Jaya Maruthi, and Limb centre in-charge Mr.P.S.Vara Kumar supported the process of measurements for 6 newly identified child amputees. On the way, we handed out ELOH flyers to like-minded civil society leaders who will be able to mobilize young amputees in the future.
We are delighted that Young Ambassador Henry Busse has chosen to run 5 km for us – and wish him well! Henry is hoping to run the distance faster than he ever has before, and raise at least £1000.

“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

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!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WONDERFUL DEVOTED PATRON JOANNA LUMLEY OBE FOR BEING MADE A DAME IN THE QUEEN’S 2021 NEW YEAR’S HONOURS

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.
