Fundraising
Fundraising is an essential activity for all charities and FUM is no exception. Our Focus on Water initiative will require around £100,000 extra
Walking for Water
Each year FUM organises one or more 'Walking for Water' events to help provide good quality water at one of our sites.

Jubilee Appeal
During 2014 it became apparent that the provision of clean, reliable water was becoming a major concern in Tabora Region. At the suggestion of FUM Secretary Rod Smith we started a Focus on Water initiative.

Running to Mwanhala
The children at Horsell (C of E) Junior School in Woking ran a distance equal to that linking them with Mwanhala Primary School. Their aim was to raise funds so that the Mwanhala children can safely access the water in their school well. There is no running water at the school.

Tabora Group Reunion
A reunion of teachers who had taught at Tabora Boys and Girls Schools over 50 years ago raised more than £4,500 for the benefit of education in Tabora Region.

As well as receiving members' subscriptions and other individual donations we have also benefited from the generosity of organisations such as The Hilden Charitable Trust, The Tanzania Development Trust, The Savannah Charitable Trust, The Kirby Laing Foundation, Rotary Clubs of Sutton Coldfield and Hawkhurst, The Friends of Nzega, The Tollemache Trust and a range of parochial church councils.
Individual fundraising activities
Individual or collective activities can be an effective and often fun way to raise funds, either for FUM's general benefit or more commonly for a particular Project.
Walking, running, swimming or cycling a challenging distance are popular ways to obtain sponsorship from family and friends, along with more esoteric activities such as a sponsored parachute or bungee jump.
