Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for visiting my page

As some of you may already know, I have been accepted into the Mission to Mafia programme organised by Islamic Help. The programme allows volunteers to experience firsthand the benefit of charity.

The island of Mafia, Tanzania, is one of the least developed parts of an undeveloped country.  The vast majority of Mafia's population is extremely poor, Mafia has no newspapers, bookshops or libraries, and people are primarily dependent upon radio for information about the world beyond the East Coast of Africa.

More saddening is the fact that there are only a few houses which have running water. Clean water is a scarce privilege for the people of Mafia and it is for this reason that cholera, diarrhoea, ringworm and several other waterborne diseases still remain a major concern for the residents.

My target is to raise £5,000 and the money raised will go towards providing the local population with the most basic and most important of elements in order to survive and improve their quality of life. The Volunteers including myself will also work to raise awareness of health and hygiene, distribute mosquito nets, and distribute gifts at local orphanages and create leisure opportunities for the children of Mafia so that they could experience a bit of happiness

This opportunity means a great deal to me and I sincerely appreciate everyones help. I really want to pool my own resources and efforts to help others, so guys please donate as little or as much as you want! Pennies make pounds and I’m hoping to raise more than £5,000 

 

peace.
