IAC, a world leader in noise and acoustic control products, has donated six Noishield Louvres for the children's play area onboard the Africa Mercy, the world's largest charity ship.
The donation from IAC will help reduce noise pollution and sound quality problems in children's play areas on the ship, currently docked in Liberia.
Gary Dawson, Business Manager for Building Services at IAC said: "Learning of the work that Mercy Ships does and the lives that they transform we wanted to be able to help and contribute to their truly inspiring work."
The Africa Mercy is run by Christian charity Mercy Ships and provides free health care to the people of Africa.
Judy Polkinhorn, Executive Director of Mercy Ships UK, said: "It is our paramount concern to ensure that the patients on board are as comfortable as possible. Many children who have been treated have undergone traumatic life changing surgeries so ensuring they have a safe and peaceful environment to play is of great importance. IAC understood this.
"Donations like this mean a lot to the crew. Our dedicated team of volunteers - including nurses, doctors, surgeons and engineers - give up their time to help those less fortunate than themselves and, coupled with the support of donor companies, Mercy Ships really makes a difference in Africa."
Over the last 30 years, Mercy Ships has worked in over 70 countries providing services valued at more than £350 million.
The charity has treated more than 230,000 people in village medical clinics, performed more than 35,000 surgeries, 190,000 dental treatments and completed over 950 construction and agriculture projects, including schools, clinics, orphanages and water wells.
