Get Involved
In December 2011, devastating floods hit Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and destroyed the Quentin Junior Academy, one of the projects supported by the African Children's Fund which offers an education to orphaned children. Fourteen of the children who attend the school have been left homeless. Others have lost uniforms and educational materials.
But all is not lost. With your help, we will be able to reopen the Quentin Junior Academy at a new site and provide new uniforms and learning materials to all the children at the school. We only need £300 to do this and to give hope back to these wonderful youngsters.
So please dig deep and donate now. You can visit www.justgiving.com/TanzaniaFloods to donate or you can text TANZ12 £10 to 70070
We need your help
To continue supporting the existing work of the African Children’s Fund – and to enable us to extend current projects and implement new ones – any help you are able to offer would be gratefully received.
By simply donating as little as £5 you can make a huge difference.
There are a number of ways you can make a donation:
- You can now support the African Children's Fund by donating via text! Text AFCH11 followed by the amount of your donation (ie. £5) to 70070 – your donation will be deducted from your mobile phone credit or your next phone bill. Please visit www.justgiving.com/JustTextGiving to find out more.
- Alternatively, you can find the African Children’s Fund on JustGiving where you can either make a one-off or a monthly donation. Or indeed decide you want to raise funds for the charity yourself!
