Jubilee Hope Celebrates 10th Anniversary Published: 10 Feb 2025

On Saturday the 8th of February, Vine Trust representatives joined with partners, government officials and other stakeholders to celebrate all the great achievements of the Jubilee Hope Medical Programme over the past 10 years, as well as officially launching the latest ship, the MV Lady Jean on Lake Victoria.

Held on the shores of Lake Victoria, the event was a moment of reflection, gratitude, and renewed commitment to the work being done. Representatives from Vine Trust, Africa Inland Church Tanzania, Geita Gold Mine Ltd, government agencies, and other key stakeholders paid tribute to the dedication of the medical teams and the life-changing impact of the programme, reaffirming the importance of collaboration in sustaining and expanding this vital work.

We want to thank all Vine Trust supporters who have been part of the Jubilee Hope Programme’s development, whether as a donor and/or as a volunteer. As the programme enters its second decade, we remain committed to improving access to high-quality healthcare for Lake Victoria’s island communities and we are excited about what lies ahead with the introduction of the new medical ship, MV Lady Jean.
