The Jamie Devaney Memorial Fund
(UK, 1151236) Browse events
YTD Raised: £9,797.68
(UK, 1151236) Jamie’s Fund has been established to provide resources to improve the care for people with mental illness in Uganda. It is in memory of Jamie Devaney who died in 2011, after falling ill while on a family holiday and fund raising trip in Uganda. He was only four years old, but during those years Jamie brought immense joy and pleasure to his family, and everyone else who was fortunate enough to know him.Mental illness tends to be neglected compared to physical illnesses in Uganda. People with severe mental illness are often misunderstood and badly treated and the great majority have no hope of receiving appropriate treatment. As a low-income country, Ugandan health services are limited and resources for mental health are pitifully small. In UK the health spend per person is around £2000 per year: In Uganda it is £6 and only 1% of this is spent on mental health. Jamie’s Fund is working with other organisations to raise the status and standards of mental health care.
