CWUHA also support 2 schools in Tanzania with student sponsorship and building.CWUHA give aid to deserving causes in UK and further abroad if requested to help.

Story

So what gets a 51 year old who has never jogged more than 3k and his lad to give up pizza and lager to don running shoes to run the Manchester 10k? Well a fantastic charity called CWU Humanitarian Aid (www.cwuha.org) and their project in Tanzania, Africa.  

 

In 2006 CWUHA was approached to help an inspirational individual Mr Masawee who at the time was teaching 30 children from his farm house. Since 2006 CWUHA financed the building of three excellent school rooms, toilets, electricity, desks, playground equipment books and  education materials etc, which resulted in increased numbers of nearly 150 children who were now receiving the much needed, and previously denied, vital education, which would give them a start in life.

 

So we are running, ok strolling in Dad’s case to help CWUHA fund extra teachers, sponsor more children’s education, and provide children with school uniform, as well as more school books and the continued maintenance of the school.

 

Money will also go to other CWUHA projects that benefit orphaned and abandoned children in Bulgaria and Moldova. And you get a cast iron guarantee that all money we raise will be used solely on CWUHA projects and not a penny on admin.

 

We think it’s a worthwhile cause I hope you do?

 

So please dig deep and donate now.
