The couple – who raised £500 at a fundraising coffee morning at Henlow Methodist Church before they left – spent time in a clinic that youngsters had spent many hours travelling to.
They also visited affected families in the area.
Mary said: “Many families live in just one or two rooms.
“Water comes from a tap in the street and it is only available for one hour a day.
“Still the children play happily and they made us feel very welcome.”
Mary has diabetes herself and she gave a speech to around 150 people about life with the condition, before a buffet was served.
The couple also presented a £500 cheque to The Dream Trust.
The trustees will now decide how they will spend the money.
