Tumaini is the Swahili word for hope and The Tumaini Fund is a Christian charity seeking to bring hope to the widows and orphans in Kagera, North West Tanzania.
The Tumaini Fund was started in 2003 by Dr Susan Wilson, MBE. Susan is a Scottish doctor who now lives in Guernsey, and from here she oversees the work in Kagera. Currently over 50,000 orphans are cared for by a team of local parish workers, supported by coordinators, many of whom are orphans who have returned to work with the charity. For more information please see www.tumainifund.org.uk.
The Tumaini Fund (Scotland) was established in 2014 in order to raise awareness
and support from Scotland for the ongoing work in Kagera. We are passionate about helping to resource the team in Tanzania as they provide care for so many orphans.
Psalm 82 v 3 says “Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless, maintain the rights of the poor and the oppressed”. This is the work that The Tumaini Fund are called to and we feel privileged to partner with.
In June 2020 The Tumaini Fund in Tanzania was awarded NGO status and is registered there as TOSO – ‘Tumaini Orphan Support Organization’. Please follow this link to the Tanzanian website www.toso.or.tz
One of our goals is to support each of the current 200 parish workers by linking them with a supporter from Scotland through a sponsorship scheme.
