A new community tree project has recently been started using funds raised at the SIFT Software Awards Ball in October. Much like our last community forestry project, this project will involve the establishment of a community tree nursery, the training of local people in the growing and care of tree and the educating of the whole community as to the importance of trees.

After a superb 2009 marathon season, Temwa are now looking for runners for the first few runs of the year.

With our marathon teams growing every year, the money raised from such events in 2009 saw them remain one of our most important sources of funding. Buoyed by everyones marathon success we have increased the amount of places to fill in 2010's runs and are thus looking for enthusiastic runners to fill the places.

Temwa are extremely excited to announce that their own brand of LUSH Charity Pots have recently hit the shelves of all the 93 LUSH shores across the UK. This is particularly exciting not only because of the national exposure that Temwa will gain but because the sale of the pots will fund the grant that LUSH recently awarded to Temwa.

Temwa run a wide range of HIV & AIDS projects including voluntary counselling and testing (VCT), behavioural change intervention (BCI) training, mobile HIV & AIDS awareness video shows and  peer education training. Please read on for a summary of what has been happening with these projects over the last several months.
