Simon Page has kindly agreed to put his body through hell for the Livingstone Tanzania Trust. He is spending months training for what will be a massive challenge. To cycle from London to Paris in just 24 hours. Most challenges like this take 3 days but simon wants to make it harder and more worthy of a donation. Call him crazy, call him what you like but he is going the extra mile to help us buy books for primary schools in Babati, northern Tanzania and we need and would love your support. Please click HERE to go through to his fund raising page. THANK YOU   … [Read more...]

It was a great day

January 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Our "pampering day" for charities was a great success. 26 charities made it to Bradford for a day packed with inspiring speeches and presentations, animated discussions, a chance to question the representatives from DIFD and Comic Relief, some useful social networking tips and the opportunity to meet people who talk the same language. We only wished it had been a bit longer. Soon we will disclose some of our findings  and help you discover the bare bones of small charities. It is so encouraging to find that many of us are willing to share their ideas, admit failures so we can all learn or … [Read more...]

Running for Books

September 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
young people of Tanzania are desperate for an education only a lack of resources is holding them back

Dear Friends Clive Shiret, one of our Trustees (53 years old) is running in the Berlin marathon  on the 26th September 2010. He is running to raise money for a primary school whose lack of books is frightening. How can a young person get an education without text books? Sharing one book between 8 or 9 students is not getting an education. By sponsoring Clive and reaching our target of £4000 we can buy enough books to reduce that ration to 1 book per 3 students. whilst not perfect, it is so much better than what they do today. Every penny of your donation will go towards buying … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]
