People often ask us what exactly it is that Grassroots does. They might say ‘you do child sponsorship, don’t you?’ And yes, we do!

Wow! – Tanzania November 2012
Wow, wow,wow! What a beautiful day. Tanzania has some of the most wonderful coastline. The beach today was simply stunning, beautiful golden white sand, warm clean blue water (plus a few jeellyfish for company) palm trees and very peaceful.

Back to Dar es Salaam – Tanzania team Nov 2012

Most of us have been sleeping well as we’ve been so tired but others have had too much caffeine or can’t stop processing the events of the previous day. More of the team have been arriving early for breakfast to grab the coffee […]
Lovely Pictures – Tanzania, November 2012
