Current TLM Campaigns
Featured / Upcoming
Kibubu Campaign
Kibubu/ Money boxes are flat pack cardboard awareness and fundraising boxes designed by TLM and distributed to school children. Each Kibubu Box represents a child in Tanzania who develops cancer each year. Kibubu boxes are delivered to schools, each with their own serial number and registration form where participants can set a fundraising goal, write a message to the children on the ward and keep track of donations if they wish to do. Kibubu campaigns have raised over $75,000 for TLM since the first campaign in 2019.
Make-A-Wish Tanzania
Make-A-Wish Tanzania aims to grant life-changing wishes to children with cancer bringing hope, strength, and joy during challenging times.
