My Nonprofit Reviews

I first met Dr. Susan Wilson, the founder of the Tumaini Fund (for which the Tumaini Fund USA raises funds in the US) four years ago. Until then I had never met anyone who set out to change one part of the world AND HAS SUCEEDED! The Fund now supports 25,000 AIDS orphans in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. This is an extremely poor region of Tanzania--which itself is among the 10 poorest countries in the world. The Tumaini Fund supplies food, clothing, school supplies, school uniforms and a mosquito net to each orphan it registers. For those who are able to advance from Primary to Secondary School it pays tuition and school fees. It builds new houses to replace dilapidated structures. It drills fresh water wells to bring fresh water to villages. Tumaini has accomplished great things, bringing hope for a better life to thousands of orphans. Tumaini Fund USA is able to send 93% of every dollar it collects to Tanzania to fund various aid to orphan projects. In 2013 Queen Elizabeth honored Dr. Wilson by awarding her the MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in recognition of her services to AIDS orphans in Tanzania.
