Success & Failure – you vote
December 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Our "pampering" day for charities on 28th January will be a chance for small charities to discuss some stories of success and some of failure (we're not perfect) and hopefully learn from them all. We have already received some interesting ones from participants and thought we should let everyone participating have a chance to pick those they think will be of most interest to them. Well, the day is for YOU. However, to add a little twist, we won't reveal the actual stories, just their titles. So take a wild guess for now. More will be revealed later. AND we need more stories (with quirky … [Read more...]

the kanga project launches new website
November 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
If you remember the old one, you won’t believe your eyes- what a difference a bit of HTML can do! But looks are not everything and our make over has its roots in a search for usability, yours and ours. We could not update or modify the old one without a knowledgeable person amongst us. But this one is using one of the latest “user friendly” wonderful wordpress theme, adapted for us by a very “user friendly” too designer from the US. We hope you enjoy browsing. If you only have time to scan through for now, look at all the main header pages, they have extracts from their sub-pages. … [Read more...]
Congratulations to Rita

When we say that Together 4 Africa is made up of extraordinary people doing ordinary things (or is it the other way?), we are not being big headed, well may be just a bit; at least other people think so too. Well done Rita on receiving the Mary Stott Award for "accomplishing something exceptional" in 2009. We hope that it will inspire some of you. … [Read more...]
Climbing Kilimanjaro for the kanga project
September 17, 2010 By 1 Comment
Ismat's 1st part account at climbing Kilimanjaro with Razan last July. What a fantastic achievement. By all accounts it was very tough. Read the full blog as written in The National Newspaper where Ismat is relating her recent world travels. Her blogs make a great read and we can't wait for the next instalments, including visiting the villagers of Ilongero and seeing the fruit of their pain in the shape of a brand new egg-incubator. … [Read more...]
