Fundraising for Tearfund
Story
REF 3261610
FUND ID 1569
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
Who am I? My name is Grace and having reached 21 and finally completing my 3 years at university, I am taking a step in a new, exciting (and somewhat daunting!) direction.
What am I doing? I have been selected by Tearfund to take part in their overseas mission to Tanzania that is taking place in February 2017, for 6 months.
Who is Tearfund? Tearfund is a Christian charity. They care about communities and lives that have been destroyed by poverty. Tearfund's headquarters are in London, UK but their work stretches far beyond this, as they support partners and campaign for change in the poorest nations across the globe. They build up, develop and transform communities. With the help of volunteers, in-country partners, and a fantastic UK based team they work to see lasting change in critical areas of life such as education, water and sanitation needs, HIV treatment and prevention, gender inequalities, community empowerment, as well as tackling local conflict and social injustice.
Why am I going? I want to volunteer with Tearfund because of their passionate ethos, which is centred on bringing new life and a sense of worth to people. A story which particuarly captures the heart of Tearfund's work is this of Rosemary and her family in Zambia; http://www.tearfund.org/en/2016/07/rosemarys_50_year_old_dream_comes_true/
Tearfund's commitment to transforming individual lives has inspired me to get involved and build connections with these people. It is also a chance to live out my faith in a fresh and very real context.
What is this page? In order to make this trip a reality, I am hoping to raise £4000. This will go towards two things. Firstly, and primarily, these donations will fund the work and projects undertaken in the local community. Secondly, the donations will also cover my in-country costs such as accommodation and food allowances for the entirety of the trip. Being able to work alongside these people, serve them, love them, grow with them and support them in whatever way they need would be such a blessing. Any contributions you would be able to make would be heart-warmingly appreciated. Whether this is financial support, through prayer or even messages of encouragement, anything you feel you would like to contribute is more than enough.
Thanks for taking the time to visit this page, and being a part of this story of compassion and change! Feel free to share it with your friends, church and family.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
