A group of charities based in Ireland, UK and Tanzania have come together with the common goal of reaching every Tanzanian child who is diagnosed with cancer and providing them with free, high-quality cancer treatment in the hopes that they will live a long and healthy life. Prior to the charity’s founding, 10 children a day were diagnosed with cancer, and 9 out of 10 of them lost their battle with the disease. Today the survival rate is 50% with a 600% increase in treatments.
There are many creative ways to support TLM, such as purchasing plants, participating in individual sports competitions, engaging with schools and kids, having hotels and restaurants run add a dollar/euro campaigns, and much more. Currently the Bid for Life Art Auction is on, the charity has raised more than €100,000 to support children’s cancer services since the Bid for Life Auction began in 2020.
This year more than 160 imaginative and creative pieces are available from Irish and Tanzanian artists. By placing a bid on these pieces of art, you would be directly contributing to Tanzania’s cancer treatment services, which will provide great assistance to the brave young patients that are treated every day.
At EIDA we are proud to support this wonderful cause, however they are in need of help more than ever due to changes on the ground there. If you can donate and help support this great charity the link is here https://www.wearetlm.org/
