Technical Support

Our friends in Tanzania have benefited greatly from the technical equipment and support received from our partners in UK over many years. Recent ones are:


Workaid

Workaid specialises in refurbishing old tools donated to them in UK and then making the tools available to partners such as FUM in East Africa.

What FUM can offer

Although FUM's constitution does not allow us to fund individuals visiting Tanzania we have many years of experience in providing travel advice (both to and within Tanzania), personal contacts and low-cost accommodation in our FDCs.

The accommodation is fairly basic but it is reliable and your hosts are friendly. Typical cost is £6 per day. There is a local hospital not far from each FDC.

We have on occasion arranged accommodation for research geologists and water engineers working in the area.

Accommodation in a village is also possible but these are more spartan and remote.

Please use the Contact FUM form to discuss possibilities, or email FUM Secretary Rod Smith secretary@fum.org.uk
