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

Jambo... Once again we are heading to Maasai lands!

This time with volunteer teachers from Biggar Primary School, Scotland who will be working to establish an educational partnership and link the school that we built in October last year with the Scottish school. Also a small volunteer group of 3, will be working with the local Maasai to paint the classrooms in bright colours with educational murals.

The painting project will be led by honorary Maasai Warrior Edward Dutton, and I will be on hand to motivate the group with the legendary renditions of Abba remixed with the famous Maasai chants!

We need your support to raise funds for the resources to paint all 10 classrooms for the school that accomodates 750 pupils. Help us to make a real difference and impact to the lives of hundreds of children and their parents who long for an education to take them out of poverty.

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
