Annual Water Garden Tour
Our Annual Water Garden Tour is one of For The Love of Africa’s major fundraising events. The funds from fees and generous donors go directly to our work with children and families in Tanzania.
This beautiful video, created by several of our amazing volunteers, showcases some of Victoria’s most gorgeous gardens. We continue to be grateful to our hosts for sharing their creations with all of us.
Dr Bonnie continues to encourage us to keep our distance, so we have made the difficult decision to not host a water garden tour this year. Please enjoy the video and consider continuing your support to give children the opportunity of quality education and families health and well-being. 100% of your donations go directly to support our projects. This link will take you to our donations page https://fortheloveofafrica.ca/ways-to-give/.
A tax receipt is offered for all donations over $20. You can donate directly through our website, send an e-transfer to treasurer@fortheloveofafrica.ca or by cheque to For the Love of Africa c/o 813 Claremont Ave., Victoria V8Y 1J9.
We are grateful for your continued support in these difficult times. Asante Sana! (Thanks a lot) from our partners in Tanzania and all our volunteers here on Vancouver Island.
Used Victoria Fundraiser
For The Love of Africa recently received a wonderful donation of ladies high end clothing. We are in the process of cataloguing and posting on Used Victoria. We also have some beautiful beaded jewelry sets that one of our members has made. She collected most of the beads and findings on her world travels. All are handcrafted, featuring sterling silver claps and earwires. Please take a moment to have a look. As in person events are a challenge at this time we have posted everything online. Please feel free to have a look.
A sample of items below. Keep checking Used Victoria as we will continue to updated our items.
KMS Tools – Smokey Fundraiser
KMS Tools is a very community minded and BC owned company. Their Smokey Days program helps local charities and organizations raise funds. And at the same time, KMS shows appreciation to its customers.
During their monthly sales and other special events, KMS supplies a nonprofit organization with all equipment and food supplies for the Smokie Days fundraiser. For the Love of Africa has been delighted to be a partner with KMS since 2018, providing volunteers who cook and serve the Smokies.
This year KMS customers stuffed the donation box. And we added $1,100 to our Raise a Roof campaign
A very special thank you to KMS for this opportunity. And to KMS customers, your generous support got us closer to our next project in Tanzania!
