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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page... and you'd better dig deep and sponsor me for my trek to raise fuinds for the Keiskamma Aids Treatment (KAT) programme. KAT was started some six years ago by two remarkable local women, Carol and Eunice, who were trying to do something about the appalling 25% incidence of AIDS amongst the approx 100,000 inhabitants of an area of South Africa centred around Hamburg on the Indian Ocean. By sheer determination Carol and Eunice managed to secure supplies of hugely expensive Anti-Retro Viral drugs and set up a vital system of 40 adherance monitors, all of whom are paid a modest wage. So far over 200 lives have been saved, but we MUST save many more. I and several friends are hoping to raise at least £3000 each towards the cost of this by doing a 2/3 day sponsored trek up to the mountainous source, and then down to the mouth of the Keiskamma River in late March. I'm also going to throw in half a crate of champagne to whoever comes closest to figuring how many kilometers I manage (the pedometer never lies !), so if you want to win the rock'n'roll mouthwash e-mail me (marksimonwill@aol.com) with your guesstimate after you've pledged some dosh .

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Community Projects Africa will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
