Sponsorship & Support

Mercy Ships is a hospital ship charity serving the most vulnerable in sub-Saharan Africa. Around 40 volunteers from New Zealand serve on board the Mercy Ship every year, and thousands of others donate time and money to sponsor surgeries and health care programmes.

Ripple Podiatry’s sponsorship will go towards orthopaedic corrective surgeries. What we love about Mercy Ships is the focus on rehabilitation and education. The ship is typically docked in port for 11 months at a time where post-surgical treatment and education is a vital part of each patients treatment.

We are proud employers of Fire and Emergency volunteers
