We work with a Tanzanian NGO called TUMAINI, based in Tanga. We provide funds to support orphans to go to school and in Further Education; and small loans to their carers to help with small income-generating operations. We raise money by subscriptions, donations, sponsorships and fundraising events. Twice a year, we visit the schools, colleges and homes with the NGO to see the children and carers.
