MEAK - Medical Educational
Aid to Kenya
Mike and Dee Bellière are the
founders and driving force
behind the charity, MEAK.
In 1994 the Belliere’s took
the bold step of establishing
a bona fide charity and
MEAK was born. The main
thrust back then was the
collection, transportation and
distribution of medical and
educational aid provided, free
of charge, by UK donors to
needy organisations in Kenya.
Today MEAK organizes and
funds medical and surgical
missions in the fields of
paediatric cardiac surgery,
dentistry, ophthalmology and
orthopaedics. To date MEAK
has carried out over 140
missions, performing over
15,500 surgical procedures,
but we know there are plenty
of people we still need to
reach and that the numbers in
need are increasing on a daily
basis.
