Our latest news

We have had a busy few months raising funds for our Well in Tanzania and have the tremendous news that we have raised sufficient money to place an order for the drilling of Dorothy's Well and the sufficient of latrines. Work has started on site for the latrines and the well will be sunk in August. With the huge support of our fund raisers we have sufficient funds to continue with a programme to sink an additional well next year, with our ambitions to be able to fund 2 wells during 2010. The impact that this will have on the people of Tanzania is tremendous, children will be able to spend more time in school, whole families will be healthier and have a better standard of living.

We are still busy fund raising: Ben Broome, a 14 year old, from Esh is planning a sponsored unicycle ride from Edinburgh to Durham. We will keep you posted on his progress but I'm sure you will give him your support.

Next year we plan to repeat the coast to coast walk with 12 places being available for walkers who can bring significant sponsorship with them to the event. If you would like to apply for this 190mile walk please contact us through the blog or our emails. Participants in the walk will also be given the opportunity of joining a group of people who will be visiting Tanzania to see the wells and to go on a safari (all at their own expense).

Many thanks to all who have contributed so far, our journey is just beginning and we are focused on building more wells to help the people of Tanzania.
