Eco2 Diving
Eco2 is the first diving, marine research and education centre in Southern Tanzania. Opened in 2004 and based in Mikindani town, in Mtwara province, we provide low-impact scuba diving and dive safaris. We work with the local Marine Park to promote marine environmental education through applied research, Mikindani and Mnazi Bays are the locations for some of the most spectacular, undiscovered diving in East Africa. Here the Southern Equatorial Current meets the African coast creating an unique ecosystem with a wealth of marine life from across the Indian Ocean.

Survivors Fund (SURF)
Since 1997, Survivors Fund has helped survivors of the Rwandan genocide deal with and recover from the tragedies of 1994, supporting a wide range of services for victims in Rwanda, and assisting survivors in the UK. Funded by a variety of organisation and individuals, SURF acts as a channel to distribute financial assistance to groups, individuals and charitable organisations in the day-to-day operations of bringing the people of Rwanda hope, safety and a decent standard of living.
Madre Albertina Home
In the Hogar de Ninas in Granada, Nicaragua, 18 girls are growing up in a safe and nurturing environment. The girls have entered in the Hogar either for being maltreated by their families or carers or their carers simply could not financially support them. They are brought to the home by the social services and nuns run the Hogar from the order Madre Albertina.
In Granada the order owns another plot of land, the intention being to build a bigger home with space for 40+ girls. The old place would become either a nursery school or a place for older girls to learn a trade. Of course all these plans rest on one thing – raising money. With the website we are developing we will reach more people and build up some greater and continued support from the UK and further a field.

Tacugama Chimpanzees
The aim of the Sierra Leone Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Programme is to provide a safe home for orphaned and endangered chimpanzees. The cruel wasteful pet and bushmeat trade must be put to an end. Tacugama also endeavours to help protect and conserve the species in the wild by engaging with the public through environmental sensitisation and training programmes.
