For the month of September and October our goal is to establish a funding base for these workers. 12 monthly supporters paying $50 a month will support staff wages.
Meet Robinson
"The Farm" projects manager works full time!
He has 4 children and has been working with us for a little over 10 years. He is our longest standing staff member at Tamarind. When he first started with Tamarind he was young and had no goals in life. We found him making bad choices that were destructive to him and his family.
Since being with Tamarind he has built a home in Pagak “The Farm” and is growing crops in his home village. He now has his own family and has short- and long-term goals that he wants to reach. He started professional boxing at Gulu Boxing Club and is winning many tournaments locally and regionally. We appreciate him and Tamarind thanks Robinson for all his hard work. When we support one, they support their family.
