    We manage an organization named Active Youth of Tanzania that deal mostly with youth in different sectors- environment, agriculture, entrepreneurship, health, AIDS in different Tanzanian communities. but we still lack support in order to accomplish our goals. Can you support us to run our organization? Thanks.

    I am a representative of a group in Kenya that helps the needy people in areas like Turkana, Marsabit who don’t have access to basic (everyday) needs. We intend to dig several boreholes in the area, so that the community people have access to fresh drinking water.
