Recent Unrest in Kwa Zulu Natal

Along with many of you we are devastated to hear about the recent unrest in Kwa Zulu Natal. Although this has taken place in close proximity to our beneficiary projects and our students' places of study we are pleased to say that no-one has been hurt. However, the impact is still devastating, causing food & fuel shortages, and lack of chronic medication in the short term and likely higher prices and loss of jobs to follow. Read more

Spring GAGAzette

Spring GAGAzette

As I sit writing this newsletter, I can hardly believe it is mid-May, the wind howling and rain hitting the window is weather more reminiscent of November!  A quote that was shared with me yesterday perfectly sums up my feelings today. “The person who dances with you in the rain, will most likely walk with you in the storm” Vivian Greene Read more

Winter GAGAzette

Winter GAGAzette

Welcome to the somewhat delayed final newsletter of 2020, as many of you will know I had to take a leave of absence due to family commitments and bereavement, so for me December 2020 and January 2021 have been personally challenging.  As such a small charity, this means that some of our regular tasks had to be delayed but rest assured the essential ones of managing your generous donations and importantly, supporting and funding our beneficiary projects continued quietly throughout the period.

  • Twin Your Cot with one at 1000 Hills Baby Room

    Twin Your Cot with one at 1000 Hills Baby Room

    There's been a baby boom in the valley of 1000 Hills and demand for places in the 1000 HCH baby room has never been higher. Providing a safe place for these babies means that their Mum's can resume their education or working life knowing that their little ones will be safe for the day. To help with the operational costs we're launching a Twin a Cot scheme linking cots at nurseries in the UK with a cot in KwaZulu Natal - can you help?

  • Stratford upon Avon URC invites GAGA UK to be their charity of 2022

    Stratford upon Avon URC invites GAGA UK to be their charity of 2022

    Absolutely delighted to announce that GAGA UK has been selected to be the Stratford upon Avon United Reformed Church's charity for 2022. Each year the church selects a local charity, alternating between national and international causes, to be the recipient of some of the fundraising activities of the congregation. We're really pleased to be chosen and look forward to lots of engagement with the URC during the year.

  • General Fund

    General Fund

    Thank you for considering a donation, regular planned giving, through a standing order allows us to plan ahead allowing for a more sustainable future for GAGA and the projects we support. Of course, we are always grateful for a one-off donation, if you feel that you cannot commit to a regular donation and there are lots of ways you can support us indirectly through selecting charitable giving portals when you are shopping on-line. We're registered with Amazon Smile, Give as You Live, and more!

    Mission and vision

    We believe every child deserves a future to look forward to. So we raise funds to strengthen the provision of education and healthcare for orphans and vulnerable children and their care givers in Southern Africa, from infancy to independence. If you agree that every child deserves a future and you believe in helping where you can, please join us. Together we can make a difference.

  • KYGN Tumaini Foundation Primary

    KYGN Tumaini Foundation Primary

    Kilimanjaro Young Girls in Need exists to support the education of primary aged children and provide a safe house for vulnerable girls at the Tumaini Foundation Primary School in Tanzania. The school is working hard towards being sustainable but the double impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and loss of a major donor is making 2021 very challenging.

  • Volunteer

    Volunteer

    As a small charity, with one employee and a small board of trustees, we couldn't achieve all we do if it wasn't for our amazing volunteers! We'd love to hear from you, whether you have an hour a week to spare, can help out intermittently or have bigger plans and would like to volunteer in Africa, call us!

  • Yarnbombing in Stratford upon Avon

    We've had a busy week yarnbombing at the Bancroft Gardens and Holy Trinity churchyard! It's not too late to make a dedication - you have until 6th December to celebrate the life of your loved ones or to sponsor a whole tree in the woollen winter wonderland.
