Provide Solar Lantern to Tanzanian School Children

THANKS for your relentless support all the time. Our solar lantern project is surviving all this time (for about 9 years) – be assured that you have touched thousands of Tanzanian children through this project. We are determined to do even more, though at present it looks like many sponsors slowed down – it could be due to the economic effects of COVID-19. Nevertheless, we are excited to receive an email on potential partnership. I did not know that it might become a breakthrough – Crypto currency! We just got a partner (name reserved for now) who has a passion project that generates donations in crypto-currency for charities (they always convert this and provide the donations in regular currency to go to immediate good use). This partners says, “I would like to push this particular cause of yours and focus a big drive for it, something like a “charity of the month” in July – My clients are very much at the forefront of technology and would get behind this.’’

Please kindly join us to spread the word when this campaign starts – some people may opt to directly support us through GlobalGiving. But all in all, we will be so grateful to receive support in any form: conversional or crypto! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Greetings from Tanzania

This quarter I want to give you a brief update on the progress of our solar lantern project.

The project got a "visibility boost" through our other campaign on establishing water stations, called Thirst for Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHL9OCyHODw.

I hope you will enjoy watching our video and see how we can amplify our voice about our solar lantern project along with the Thirst for Life Campaign (from Alexandria in Egypt to Cape Town in South Africa).

Our desperate need now is to get our word out - so we can invite many supporters for our campaign. We don't have a very competent IT Team or Social Media Experts to help us amplify our word. I was just looking to our Thirst for Life video today (16th Feb 2021) and found out there are only 20 views! How on earth can I fundraise $1,000 under such circumstances!/ THANKS to GlobalGiving (through you) for playing its part to help me and my team.

 If you have a specific advice on how we can efficiently implement our Thirst for Life campaign please directly write to me: hilonga@gmail.com. The campaign will touch lives of about 5,000,000 people across Africa - I am sure you will be proud that you also contributed to making this impact in your life time.

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!

Askwar Hilonga - Project Director
