Description


The Greater Chernobyl Cause is based in Cork, Ireland. It began as a response to the world’s worst nuclear disaster in 1986, but has now widened its mission to concentrate on the human casualties of the break-up of the former Soviet Union. Charity director, Fiona Corcoran, and her team of volunteers are working to alleviate the suffering of abandoned children and the elderly in Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia where there is still dire poverty, ruined health, homelessness, disease and premature death. For more information please visit www.greaterchernobylcause.ie or write to us at Unit 2, Southside Industrial Estate, Pouladuff Road, Togher, Cork, Ireland.

In the autumn of 2008 Fiona Corcoran from the Irish charity The Greater Chernobyl Cause first visited this hospice for the elderly in Semipalatinsk, an industrial city in north east Kazakhstan.She was so shocked by the desperate plight of the residents and the squalor inside the dilapidated building that she decided to act immediately.. Now, two years on and thanks to generous donations and the charity's hard work, there have been some major improvements to diet, medical care and hygiene. But best of all is the charity's plan to build an entirely new hospice in the grounds of the city's general hospital. This hospital though has problems of its own. One of the most urgent is the repair of the CAT scanner, out of action since June 2010. It would normally be used by 1500 cases a year, 500 of them very serious. The Greater Chernobyl Cause wants to help get this scanner working again by supplying vital components. Please visit www.greaterchernobylcause.ie

Fiona Corcoran of the Greater Chernobyl Cause travels to Chernobyl in Ukraine to visit the site and see for herself the effects of the terrible accident at the nuclear power station in 1986. The film looks a the history of the accident with an interview with a local fireman who was there that fateful night. We also explore some of the work that's being done with children in the areas surrounding the 30km exclusion zone. Please visit www.greaterchernobylcause.ie for more information about our work.
