Feet First

Feet First is a children’s charity focused on the treatment of club foot and other congenital birth defects, via surgery and ground-breaking non-invasive treatments. Run by Dr. Steve Mannion, a surgeon with years of experience in third-world medicine, Feet First is a rarity: a charitable organisation that, with very few overheads, dramatically improves the lives of thousands of children each year.

Kingsley Holgate

The "Old Greybeard" of African adventure, Kingsley Holgate is a modern marvel. His most recent adventure took him on a 15-month circumnavigation of Africa's coastline, starting and finishing in Cape Town, home of Evosat. Kingsley and his team used BGAN to communicate with the outside world, send emails, and to update blogs and website. On their epic journey they distributed over 100,000 mosquito nets to expectant mothers, providing the most practical help possible in the fight against malaria.
