Evening for the TunaHAKI Foundation Ball
As a corporate sponsor for the “Evening for the TunaHAKI Foundation”, 10 Tannson staff & partners attended the Ball on Saturday 17 February 2007 at the Radisson SAS Hotel in Glasgow. A total of £45k was raised on the night with sponsorship money still arriving. The Ball was organised by One Solution for their own registered charity One4Kids. This year they are supporting the TunaHAKI Foundation which helps orphans and vulnerable street children in Moshi, the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania, to become self-reliant, thus ensuring basic human needs, including food, clothing, shelter, education, medical care, and the right to a secure future. The United Nations Human Development Report ranks Tanzania 164th out of 177 countries, making it one of the poorest nations in the world.

Wear It Pink
