Safe babycare for single mums in the Nairobi slums

We have now completed  our review of Tiba  Africa Foundation following the sudden death of Daniel Marungu, CEO of Tiba Africa Foundation.  After looking at Tiba’s records, consulting widely,  including with GlobalGiving UK,   we are recommending to the Tiba Board that it be closed down in its current form.  Because  Daniel Marungu  had his own  way of doing things, we feel that it will be very difficult for the Tiba Board  to continue without his input.  However,   since each  Tiba project has its own community and different needs,  we are recommending that people on the ground with an interest in each project may wish to set up a self-help group to support it and fundraise for it in the future. We will let you know the outcome of this once the Board has met and decisions have been taken. We are assured by GlobalGiving that each project will be eligible apply to it in its own right. 

Please note that it is likely that Joy Babycare will continue, supported by the School where it is based.

 

Andria  will be travelling to Nairobi on 18th February 2019 for two weeks to  attend a Special General Meeting of the Board to support it in making the necessary decisions.   While she is in Nairobi  she and Vincent will be  running  a number of Transformational Breath workshops including workshops  for people with cancer  and  AIDS/HIV. 

 

We will be asking GlobalGiving to send the last of the money they have been holding for Tiba so that the Board can spend it while Andria is in Nairobi, according to the needs  identified for each project.     We anticipate that this may include:   breathwork workshops for people with AIDS/HIV, new equipment for Joy Babycare and extra pay for the carer;   extra books,  equipment  and registration fees for Abundance School.    We will let you know how the money is spent.

 

If you  or your organisation have any outstanding monies put aside for Tiba, or you feel you would like to  support it one last time,  then please could you  donate via GlobalGiving  by  the 15th January 2019.   After this time we will be asking GlobalGiving to close down the Tiba pages. If you would like to contribute to Andria’s costs  in travelling to Kenya please contact her personally.

 

Thank you so much for your love and support to Joy Babycare.    Please know that your input has touched the lives of  many children and  families.
