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

Dear All,

For those who know me what you are about to read may come as quite a shock, so much so that you may fall off your seat. Therefore, I recommend you sit on the floor before reading on...!!

For some time now I have wanted to do something out of the ordinary, something, that in years to come I can look back on and say 'did I really do that?' At the same time I have wanted to become involved in charity work, this being a fantastic opportunity.

So, in February 2010 I will be off on a little adventure to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, all 5,895 meters of it!

In doing so, I am hoping to raise £2,000 (and more) for the Charity Community Projects Africa (CPA), a charity founded by a lady, who, after climbing Kilimanjaro herself, saw the need to raise money for projects in North Tanzania. Today CPA supports a variety of projects in North Tanzania as well as Ethiopia and Southern Africa. These projects include schooling, vocational training, sanitation, the provision of safe water supplies, educating communities about HIV/ AIDS, and critically, helping to assist families affected by HIV & AIDS.

As part of my 'adventure' I will be fortunate enough to spend time getting involved with a number of these projects and will no doubt take hundreds of photos to share when I return. But if you would like to see some of the projects that have already ready been carried out or learn a little more about the charity please visit http://communityprojectsafrica.com/about.html

I know I won't be able to do this without your support and encouragement so I am asking you to please help me to reach my scarier-than-the-climb target of £2,000 and, in doing so, help change the lives of so many who are living in a world less fortunate than ours.

Thank you so much
