Support Church Building

Hello, my name is Archie, and I am fundraising for St Lorenzo Church located in Tanga, Tanzania - Korogwe District at Hale Ward. The church was established around 1936; there is no accurate record showing when it was opened, but according to the church marriage registry book, the first wedding was registered in 1936.

This church has developed a long history in the community as it is the only church within the Sisi Kwa Sisi Village. Due to the lack of income from church members, they cannot afford the church renovations. Also, due to the majority of the church members being old they can't facilitate regular money contributions for the church building. The village is suffering from a decrease in population as a result of the younger generation migrating into more urban areas, further impacting the number of contributions received.

With the small contributions the church has received, renovations have been ongoing for the past decade with no sign of completion. I have decided to take the responsibility of setting up this fund as the church has a long history in my family. I have attended the church since I was a young child and have continued to visit and support with my wife and children. I feel it is right for me to do my best to maintain St Lorenzo Church as it is a sentimental and important place in the village for worshipping God.

The fund will be used to finish the church's essential areas, such as the roof. windows, congregation pews and floors.

All contributions will be highly appreciated by the church members.
