Getting an aid programme off the ground takes more than just money. Merlin’s Louise Halfpenny spent a week with the Merlin Response Team (MRT) as they toiled away for long hours in 40+ degree heat to get through all the paperwork and processes required to start providing emergency health and nutrition.
Merlin's Head of Health, Dr Samson Agbo, travelled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to see the fantastic work Merlin is doing on family planning.
One of the toughest places to live in the world today, Darfur, in western Sudan, faces huge health challenges. Merlin is working tirelessly to meet these problems head on.
