Donations received will be allocated on a closely monitored “as need” basis to the following:

Village Community Banking (VICOBA)

In conjunction with VINE TRUST of Scotland, TAWREF constructs houses for orphans, elderly and the disabled. Each beneficiary family appoints one member to attend a 5 day VICOBA training to promote a revolving savings culture by addressing vulnerability and sustainable development. US$75 provides for one individual training session.

Ventilated Improved Pits (VIP)

Due to lack of funding and local custom, VINE Trust/TAWREF homes are built without inside bathrooms relying instead on simple outdoor pit latrines. US$800 provides each home with a much needed VIP “pours flash toilet system” and bathing room.

Start-Up Capital

Providing marginalized families with a home and economic skills is incomplete unless they are given the means to start a sustainable business or send their children to school. US$155 buys 10 chickens, US$120 buys one goat, US$100 buys 2 piglets or 2 beehives. US$40 buys 2 pair of school uniforms and 1 pair of shoes.

General Administrative Support

TAWREF office rent costs US$300 per month, utilities US$55 per month, administrative /maintenace supplies US$75 per month.

Remember “Together we can move the mountain...one stone at a time.”
