About Us                                                                                                

Tatenda Trust is a non-denominational Christian UK registered charity that supports an educational project in Zambia. See our entry on the Charity Commission website here.  Our trustees are both British and Zambians living in the UK.

Our main activities are fundraising and promoting links between children here and in Zambia.

The funds that we raise go to a Zambian trust which runs a nursery and primary school and also supports older children in their education from secondary to further education. 

The children that are supported come from backgrounds where there are insufficient funds to send them to school.  Most have lost either one or both parents and some come from the shanty towns or rural areas.

The emphasis is on providing good quality education that will make a real difference in the lives of these children by enabling them to get out of the poverty trap, which is a never ending cycle for so many families in Zambia.

We don't believe in wasting our supporters' money so we keep overheads to an absolute minimum, enabling practically every penny that is donated to be sent to Zambia.  We are a small charity and everybody involved is a volunteer.  Because we personally know and trust the people we are dealing with in Zambia and have regular contact with them, we can ensure that our supporters' money is spent properly.
