Geldof supports 'cool' midwives

For 25 years Faversham resident Sir Bob Geldof has been campaigning to help the developing world.

Now Sir Bob has taken the unusual step of speaking out in support of a Kent charity working in Africa.

Health For All is based in Bridge, near Canterbury and the charity has been working in partnership with the Tigray Health Bureau in Ethiopia.

Doctors and midwives from Kent regularly visit Tigray to help reduce maternal and childhood deaths in one of the poorest parts of Africa.
