I'm heading to Tanzania for 10 days over Christmas. I have visited the same village for almost 20 years and I do what I can to give the people the chance to improve their lives.

I hope to continue the same work this trip. I plan to provide the following: school uniforms; food for dozens of families at Christmas and beyond; enabling disabled children to access specialist education; setting up small businesses for mothers to support their families; providing specialist equipment for the blind such as white canes and talking watches.

I have documented my previous trips at my website so please take a look to get a flavour of the difference money can make. As always, every penny I receive will be used on projects in Tanzania and won't go towards things like airfares.
