Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. It's not me at all but these two very courageous young people :)
Gabi’s Story
In 2024, I participated as a volunteer with Nations Together in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania, where I observed the organization’s efforts to support individuals with learning disabilities and their families. Many families experience misunderstanding and, at times, mistreatment due to limited awareness about learning disabilities. This can lead to significant emotional burden on mothers until they are able to attend the awareness support group facilitated by the dedicated Tanzanian staff team. The staff members are committed to providing an engaging and supportive environment for all participants. Where a nutritional meal and health needs are met. My most memorable experience as a volunteer was leading a thumb painting project where all of the young people became a part of the community by placing their thumb prints on a tree, representing togetherness. The service currently offers day care, with plans to establish a future 24-hour residential facility designed to promote independence and provide new opportunities in a safe space.
Zach’s Story
Hi my name is Zach and I am 17 years old, completing a sky dive is a personal goal of mine and raising funds for Nations Together enables me to achieve this while supporting a meaningful cause. I hope to volunteer in Tanzania in 2027, inspired by the positive impact I have witnessed through the project. Living with Laura, the founder, provides additional insight as I frequently observe the project's progress through WhatsApp video calls, photographs, and videos. I can confidently state that all funds raised will directly support ongoing running costs and contribute towards essential improvements, such as installing a security fence around the project site.
Both Gabi and I are nervously excited and we really do appreciate your support for our sky dive on the 1st June (weather permitting) as we strive to reach our fundraising target and more —thank you!
