Join us in breaking the cycle of poverty for 40 families in rural Tanzania
This year, we are trying to raise £10,000 to support 40 disadvantaged families in Tanzania.
With £250 each, these families will receive livestock, so they can generate income in a sustainable and self-sufficient way. We will also support the education of one of their children.
If you want to help us reach this target – get involved!
There are two ways to help:
- You can donate to one of our existing fundraisers. For example, long-time ACT supporter, June, is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to spearhead the #StepForChange campaign and raise money for ACT. Find out more and make a donation here!
- You can challenge yourself to a fundraising event. For example, you could run a half-marathon, organise a bake sale… it’s up to you! Find out more here.
All the money raised through your fundraisers will go towards the same goal: breaking the cycle of poverty for 40 families in rural Tanzania.
