Hosting an Eat Rice meal

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 helping provide a safe haven, a nutritious diet and a great education to neglected children in Tanzania.
"I had the pleasure of hosting a group of my friends for a rice night. It was all very easy going and such a feel good gathering. It is nice to have the chance to do something for these beautiful kids across the other side of the world like we would for our own kids"

Our fundraising focus this year

The average contribution per dinner last year was $89 per head.

 

As you may already know, we recently bought a block of land in Tanzania, to start creating our own home, providing security and a sure future for our children.

 

Our aim this year is to raise money to fence the 9 acres for the children’s safety and to keep the Massai livestock off the crops we're intending to plant.

​

Watch this video from Faith, the Director of our home, talk about the land.

When? Any day, a meal, lunch, dinner, between August 8th and 24th
