On 21st July 2012 we held a big fundraising event at the Landmark Hotel, Dar-es-Salaam to support TAYO projects. We thank God that the event went well and are very grateful to our planning committee in Dar who put in a lot of work to make the event a success. Many choirs and solo artists were present and helped make the event into a joyful celebration. The guest of honour was Otieno Igogo, president of the Tanzania tax payers association and we are very grateful to him for his generous donation.

In total we raised around 18 million tanzanian shillings (over £7000). This will mainly go towards supporting our recording studio project. This is a huge step though we are continuing with the fundraising effort as more is still needed. If you are able to support us in this please make a donation on our just giving page on the link above.

Organising Committee

(Tar 21/07/2012 tulifanya tamasha kubwa la uchangiaji katika Landmark Hotel, Dar-es-Salaam kwa ajili ya miradi ya TAYO. Tunamshukuru Mungu kwa ajili ya tamasha na pia tunawashukuru kamati yetu ya maandalizi kule Dar ambayo ilifanya kazi kubwa ili kufanikisha tamasha hili. Kwaya nyingi pamoja na waimbaji binafsi walikuwepo na walisaidia tamasha liwe la furaha kubwa. Mgeni Rasmi alikuwa Mh. Otieno Igogo, rais wa jumuiya ya walipa kodi, Tanzania, na tunamshukuru sana kwa mchango wake mkubwa.
Jumla ya michango yote ilikuwa TSh. 18,000,000 (zaidi ya £7000). Tutatumia fedha hizo hasa kwa mradi wetu wa kujenga studio ya kurekodi. Hii ni hatua kubwa lakini bado tunaendelea kuchangisha fedha maana bado tunahitaji zaidi. Ukiweza kutusaidia na mchango angalia ukarasa wetu wa "justgiving" kupita link hapo juu.)

Also a few weeks ago we visited the diocese of Mpwapwa to asses the small loans and savings project which is half way through in that diocese. We visited 6 youth groups and their projects which included keeping pigs, chickens and goats, making gravel and selling bibles and other church resources.
All the projects are going well and the groups are successfully returning their loans and making savings. Please pray that their projects will continue to be a success and bring benefits to them, their families and their communities.

(Pia wiki chache zilizopita tulitembelea dayosisi ya Mpwapwa ili kufanya tathmini ya mradi wa kuweka na kukopa ambayo imefika katikati ya muda wake katika dayosisi ile. Tulitemblea vikundi 6 na miradi yao kwa mfano ufugaji wa nguruwe, kuku na mbuzi, kuponda kokoto na uuzaji wa biblia na vitu vingine vya kanisa. Miradi yote inaendelea vizuri na vikundi vinaendelea vizuri katika kurejesha mikopo yao na kuweka akiba.
Tunaomba maombi yenu kwamba miradi yao iendelee kuleta mafanikio na kuwafaidisha wanachama wenyewe, familia zao na jamii zao.)
