The Theresa Foundation would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season. As well, we would like to thank you for your generous support over the course of this past year and your attendance at our 9th Annual Benefit Concert this past November (which had record-breaking attendance and money raised!) and the Dawson Theatre Collective’s show Midsummer Night’s Kickass Dream this past April.
In 2018, thanks to your donations, we were able to accomplish the following:
- We continued to provide financial support for the secondary school education of 13 girls and 2 boys;
- We provided supplies and educational materials for a kindergarten that is being run out of the community centre in the village of Mnjale;
- We built a playground for the kids with a swingset, slide and soccer pitch (see attached picture!);
- We continued to support the farming program in Mnjale and its surrounding communities, which allows them to have a sustainable food source;
- We were able to provide a protein supplement (likuniphala) for children of the villages as well as emergency food supplies in times of need;
- We continued to provide medical help for the community, including another mobile clinic in the villages in April 2018, where over 300 people were treated in one day by our friends Melodie Hicks, the Vanier Nursing Program Exchange and the K2 Foundation;
- And more!
Also, we wanted to let everyone know that we will be organizing a “Run, walk or stroll for Theresa” as part of the Scotia Bank Charity Challenge this coming April 2019. If you are interested in participating or simply donating, please check out our fundraising page at
