Share your table; change their world

Welcome
This is your opportunity to have some fun with your friends, share a meal and at the same time change the life of a child in our community.
When you and your guests make a contribution to our Eat Rice appeal you will be providing a safe haven, a nutritious diet and a great education to neglected children in Moshi Tanzania.
Choose a fundraising focus
The average contribution per dinner last year was $89 per head.
We’ve chosen to target this year’s campaign on the day-to-day expenses of caring for our children so that you can see what your contribution will achieve. Choose your area of interest – food/nourishment or education.
Supporting food
Children we adopt are commonly malnourished and can suffer from stunted growth and brain development.
A nutritious diet is fundamental to reversing this problem.
Here’s what your donation can provide:
​
$25 clean washing and drinking water for all the children for one month
$50 feed one child for one month
$100 pay for the bottled gas for cooking for one month
$150 would buy a new set of cooking pots
Supporting education
Education is the pathway out of poverty.
When our kids complete high school they become part of a small minority in the community, especially the girls, who have done so. They are more employable, and the girls will be empowered to live an independent life. Your donation can:
​
$25 provide sanitary products for 1 girl/month, so she can focus on her study
$40 provides a new pair of shoes to wear to school
$60 buy exercise books and textbooks for a high school student
$100 can buy a school uniform for one child
$250 can pay for school bus fares for all our kids for 1 month
When? Any day, a meal, lunch, dinner, between August 9th and 26th
