Two important “G’s” for Tumaini: Gifts and Guardians

We have a new opportunity for Tumaini sponsors who often inquire about giving gifts to their sponsored children for such things as birthdays or simply additional ways to show how much they care.  Though these gifts are well intended, we have had to pause such gifts as we focus on delivering the services of child sponsorship and improvements in this area.  The management of school fees and logistics as well as the overall health and welfare of the children in our program is quite comprehensive and our main priority.  We do still encourage birthday greetings via our “send a card” or email or via physical mail. Some sponsors have recurring gifts set up on our donation processor and these gifts will accrue and be distributed as year-end Christmas vouchers during November and December.   If you have such a gift and wish to make a change, feel free to reach out to us for any edits to your gift timing.

Food/hygiene packages are still available and can be purchased anytime for quarterly delivery.

We are pleased to announce a new opportunity to do more for your child’s family through a Guardian Empowerment Gift.  This is a way for a sponsor to provide a donation that does more than a one-time gift.  Guardian Empowerment gifts are such things as:

·         seedlings for fruit trees and fertilizer

·         livestock

·         sewing machine

·         wheelbarrow

·         seeds for crops

·         tools

·         and more!

The options are quite extensive!  Our Socio-Economic department will meet with guardians to determine the best use of any funds provided to enrich their family for months and years to come.  Such meetings will occur quarterly and if you are interested, we ask that you entrust the team to guide the guardians to select the most practical gift for their situation. A recommended donation is in the amount of $50 but any amount is welcome.

 If you are not a sponsor, but want to empower a family, you may give a guardian empowerment gift donation to a guardian in need, and we will match the donation with such a family.
