Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My late wife Robyn was born in Iringa, Tanzania and we planned to spend some time in East Africa when I retired from full-time work.

Robyn was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2020 and despite amazing treatment at The Royal Marsden Hospital, she passed away in 2023.

I am volunteering through Church Mission Society ( CMS ) and spending a few months at the See Ability First International ( SAFI ) centre near Arusha, Tanzania.

SAFI is empowering people with disabilities and helping them to start micro-businesses, expanding artisan opportunities and creating secure livelihoods.

Trainees learn woodwork, jewellery-making, tailoring, doll and accessory making, tee shirt printing with 8 more businesses to follow.

100% of the profits from the craft businesses go back to supporting people with disabilities with help towards education, mobility, access and livelihoods.

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.
