2007
Water Projects
Kiota has been fortunate enough this year to receive a £2000 donation from the Tudor Trust. This had been earmarked for a much needed well at the new Bunju site outside Dar es Salaam.
However, a detailed survey of the area concluded that there is it is unsuitable for such a development and water will, unfortunately need to continue coming from elsewhere.
KIWOHEDE’s director, Justa Mwaituka, is currently looking into using the donation for a water project enabling irrigation and pig and chicken farming. All the necessary research and paperwork would need to be carried out first though so keep checking for updates.
Organisational Structure
Although we have been doing our usual fundraising favourites this year, we have been focusing much of our efforts in 2007 on re-organising Kiota.
As you may know, Kiota’s trustees contribute their time voluntarily so that all donations can go to projects which benefit children and young people in Tanzania.
To be sure that we are using our time effectively, we have been designating tasks to particular trustees and helpers and looking to see how we can better manage our time to be of maximum benefit. This is in the hope that 2008 will be our best year yet!
We now have:
Pippa Brown – Directing Trustee
Steve Litherland – Chair Trustee
Erica Hicks – Information and Communications Trustee
We are also currently looking for a new FINANCE trustee to join the team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the charity accounts and the submission of the annual report to the charity commission and would ideally be based in the London area.
