| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Heart of Mine was gifted lab separators for the on-site separation techniques. These have been provided free to mines in the Ivory Coast to replace the omnipresent use of mercury. The 12thgoal on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) list is Responsible Consumption and Production, which we are directly impacting by the use of the lab separators. We have been preparing how we can help educate communities with the goal of providing funding, building capacity and community training within Artisanal and Small Gold Mining (ASGM) communities. We have also been preparing to launch our doctors on wheels program to provide mobile health care to address health issues and support advanced health research on mercury use in ASGM communities. |
