Kilimanjaro Young Girls in Need

We are immensely proud to announce our new funding partnership with the Coles-Medlock Foundation in aid of the Clean Water Plumbing Project at KYGN. Thanks to funding from the foundation, the KYGN team in Tanzania will spend the next quarter completing the vital plumbing works on site This will ensure that the 930 children at the school, including 58 vulnerable children living on-site at the safe house, have access to clean and safe water for cooking and drinking, including sanitary conditions in the latrines. We believe that the provision of clean water will ensure that the children miss less school due to illness, and also contribute to their overall health and wellbeing in general. We are looking forward to keeping you updated with the developments of the project. Thank you so much, Coles-Medlock Foundation!

There is another extremely exciting development to tell you about The Trustees of KYGN UK have been overseeing fundraising for the school for more than a decade, and are now looking to “future-proof” the services they provide. We have therefore come to a joint agreement that GAGA UK will be taking over all of the KYGN UK services from January 2024. We will be working with the Trustees of KYGN UK towards a seamless transition towards the end of 2023. Donors will be able to continue to support KYGN’s vital work, receive regular updates, and be assured sound reporting and monitoring systems on expenditure are in place This is very exciting for GAGA UK as it means we’ll be strengthening our relationship with KYGN, and thus reinstating our commitment to the growth and development of this wonderful school.
