25.01.2022 Wishing Rafiki Volunteer Anaethetist @ drjamiestevens a happy birthday today!

25.01.2022 Does anyone live near Ballajura who could pick up a donated special needs stroller on Thursday?

24.01.2022 Through ATS, our supporters provide scholarships for underprivileged children to attend PEC School in Kilwa. Although schools are closed in Tanzania, the teachers are making home visits to our students to help them with their English lessons and proving work for them to do. Here are some pictures of the visits and it also offers a bit of insight into home life in rural Kilwa. ... Congratulations the teachers at PEC, who are working under very difficult circumstances. If youre interested in knowing more about the scholarship program, send us a message.

24.01.2022 On the same day were loading a container in Perth, James and Juma are unloading two in Tanzania! The containers include ambulances for Geita and Mtwara and heaps of hospital beds and equipment.

24.01.2022 Another ambulance packed and soon to be on the way to the Nzega region in Tanzania. Massive thank you to Sheri and Lee from Graphic Source for doing the signage and helping pack the container today. Included in the container are hundreds of wide-brimmed hats donated by Headwear Stockists (WA & SA) and sunscreen and sunglasses donated by Pharmacy 777. These items will be donated to the Mwanza region to help protect people with Albinism. ... Also, big thanks to Tony Davis for donating medical equipment from his surgery and Stephen Bell and Marcel Murcia for picking it up. Also on board is some educational material to be sent to the school we support in Kilwa. While we are all very sad that we cant visit Tanzania and continue our surgical trips presently, its nice to be able to continue to support with equipment donations.

As well as being able to provide the students with nutritious meals and a dining area, the building will give them much more space for shared studies. It’s a substantial building - 30m x 10m. We have a bunch of refurbished computers on the way. We also received some very cute letters from our sponsored children. So lovely to see how well they are progressing with their English and studies.

Graphic Source is a family-run business and they certainly punch above their weight when it comes to the support they provide Rafiki and other charities. Have a great day Peter and thank you for being one of our biggest supporters since day dot.
