Kitaa Hope Home receives no funding from the Tanzanian government or any other Non-Government Organisation. The Trust here in the UK, together with Kitaa’s friends in Sweden, are the providers for the Home.

So a huge thank you - first, to our regular monthly supporters, on whom we rely: we are so grateful. Thank you, too, to our occasional, generous supporters - people who give in December to pay for a child’s education, who send a surprise cheque or pass on their winter fuel allowance. Thank you to those who save regularly for the children: five pence pieces in the money box, ‘milk’ and ‘teas’ money (you know who you are!), those who knit and bake, those who open their hearts and their wallets. A thank you to those who made a special and particular effort : the Brighton marathon and half-marathon, the Great North Swim, Land’s End to John O’ Groats on a tandem, the beautiful Open Garden and many more.

The work of rescuing and giving hope would not go on without you. Please go on being generous and creative.
