Helping Donkeys in Tanzania
SPANA is helping donkeys in flooded areas. There are many ways to help:
- Sending unwanted (including broken) jewellery and watches, along with UK or foreign bank notes and coins, unwanted mobile phones, cameras, stamps (leave a 1cm surround to preserve the perforations)) and electronic gadgets. Again you can donate scrap cars, to sell scrap metal.
- Choose SPANA as your cause at easyfundraising. Then again when you shop at participating businesses, a portion of the price goes to them, and it won’t cost you a penny. If you prefer to give anonymously, just tick the box at Charities Aid Foundation.
- IAPWA (easyfundraising) is another charity active in Tanzania.
