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

Why I am doing this - In December 2007 my extremely generous friends helped me raise enough money to build Choba Nursery School in a remote part of Tanzania. The picture on the left shows the amazing result, 50 children enjoying what most children take for granted. Rather than stop there I would like to help them even more by providing a Primary school, to enable them to continue their education (don't worry I will stop when they reach university level!). To this end, myself and a few friends are going out to Tanzania to attempt a double challenge. In the first week we will climb Africa's 4th highest mountain, Mt Meru, near Arusha. After that we will travel out to Pangani and spend a week physically building the primary school (obviously with people who really know what they're doing!). Please give generously to help us achieve another amazing result - a working school that will educate hundreds of children in the years to come, and hopefully change lots of lives. Don't think that your small donation will not help - every penny makes a difference. Why don't you come too?! If you would like to come and join us there are spaces available on this amazing trip!
