Raising money for

Community Projects Africa

Charity Registration No. 1099857

Community Projects Africa is a registered UK charity set up in 2003 to provide support for impoverished people living in south and east Africa, predominantly Tanzania.

Working with village elders and councils, we support community projects that provide schooling, vocational training, sanitation and safe water supplies. Integral to our mission and projects is the education of such communities on HIV Aids and assistance for families affected, as well as the promotion of environmentally friendly activities and conservation.

We raise funds through donations and fund-raising events and pride ourselves on not wasting money on unnecessary administration - your donations go directly towards the project you want to support.

CPA is currently running four active projects, all of which need your help to remain operational. At our vocational training centre, we have built the classrooms and health post and now desperately need funds to employ local teachers and start running our skills courses, including English language and tailoring, for vulnerable Maasai women.

My story

Hello!

We're raising money for Community Projects Africa towards the project that Stephen, Karyn and Marilyn will be carrying out in October 2009. The project takes place at Choba Primary School in Pangani on the East coast of Tanzania. We're going to help finish off the build for a primary school class room and dig the toilets.

If you can spare a few moments, simply read the short text on this webpage to know all you need to know about what it is we're off to Africa to do: http://www.communityprojectsafrica.org/projects_13.html. This says it all!

Making A Difference (MAD) is expensive and the entire trip will cost over £10,000. A fair chunk of this is being funded from our own personal resources. Part of it is funded from Moat's Packer Prize.

Helping us towards this £500 goal is much appreciated. We've previously raised just over £1k for Shelter, however, we are now transferring this money to Community Projects Africa where it will be used to purchase materials for the project and for the benefit of the local community as this is necessary for the success of the project. We hope you are happy with this arrangement. So a BIG thank you to so many of our friends who previously responded to our call for sponsorship via www.justgiving.com/MADinAfrica.

Donations to our Nationwide account, or to us via PayPal are also appreciated. Join our group on Facebook called MAD in Africa to find out how and to keep in touch with us as we prepare for this amazing adventure into Africa. Alternatively email marilyn.dicara@moat.co.uk for details.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure, so please sponsor us and thank you so much!
