Leah and the leaders of Teng’ena have secured an office space to rent! Now they need a table and two chairs, a printer and a laptop. From previous donations from 2 friends they were able to pay for the NGO registration and still having some left over which was untouched while we tried to figure out how to make the page. So for the table and chairs they are only short 50000 tzs which is about 20 usd? I’ll get euros in a sec. (ETA- it’s the same. 20 euros) The printer and laptop we will know more about after the trip to Arusha tomorrow.
The only payment she can receive is via World Remit app which we used about 3 times so far and it was great. We are still in a learning curve so please inbox me if you want more info how to do this. The other is directly into her bank account but I have no clue how do do that. We have submitted an application with Facebook to be able to take donations via that, but it takes a little time while they look over your paperwork
The printer and laptop they are pricing tomorrow in Arusha - and taking more pics of the office in the light. But to give you an idea here is the office tonight! And some extra pics of Leah and Mois her husband, another founder of Teng’ena
So I’m only on here helping out because she’s working off a phone which is giving problems- so longer posts and regular wifi is a challenge. And also data usage in the phone. And all the logistics with world remit. In USA we both get 20 dollars extra if we send 50! We did this twice already and both sent the extra 20 to the group. It’s a referral thing. 40 extra dollars! The donation goes straight into her account and we each get 20 which u could eithe keep to offset the cost of the donation or send also to her. Mine obv I am sending all to her
I’m not sure if they are doing that in other countries but they are not in Tanzania so that’s another reason I said I’d organize at least the US donations for now. Anyway once the office is set up then she will be the one posting everything. I’m not a member or founder of the group I’m Leahs friend and I like what she is doing. Plus I know she will have success! This is just logistics and some small help to get it off the ground. I’m not involved in anything else but some posts and trying to figure out donation logistics until it all makes sense for her to do it all herself. We both have never made a page or anything else so it’s new. So feel free to message me (Eva ) if you have an interest in donating- she told me a few people had asked and that’s why I am making this post.
