Thanks for Going the Extra Mile

Did you know that apart from major giving opportunities such as gala events or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro there are other ways you can raise more funds and give to Tumaini? It is possible. Here are some examples of what others have done.

Emily is a long time child sponsor and has been to Kenya on Vision trips multiple times. During her last trip this past July, she learned that there was need for an ultrasound at our medical clinic. Being a nurse, Emily wanted to raise the monies needed. She and her grandmother Paula sold most of their souvenirs from Kenya. Paula also began to bake and sell bread to raise the $4000 towards the purchase of the machine. Their plan is to meet their goal by January 2019.

Steve recently participated in a half marathon to raise Hope Funds. All the donations from family and friends are to be matched up to $5000! Pretty incredible. Hope Funds are critical for us to meet various needs, especially covering kids who lose their sponsors while still in need.

A number of sponsors also take advantage of matching grant programs with their employers. We are especially grateful to Steve & Rhonda, Eric & Christine, Jack, Chris, Rick, Chloe, Raquel, Kathy, Tommy, Matthew, Rosalind, Jorjia and many others who have been working with their employers to fund these matching gifts on an ongoing basis for Tumaini.
