• Our mission is to help communities worldwide who suffer from lack of water due to drought or unsanitized water.
•To implement agriculture spaces using our water projects to allow communities to be self-sufficient.
•To support orphaned children, as well as children in need as much as we can. This has been a founding principle of ALALA from the beginning.
A message from Manu Sun, Director of ALALA:
"I would like to introduce you to our mission for 2026,
Tandem to Tanzania!
In the summer of 2026, my brother Theo and I will embark on a cycling journey from Brighton to Tanzania. Along the way, we will be stopping in Ethiopia and Tanzania to carry out individual community projects. Our route will take us across Europe, through Turkey, and then onward to Egypt as we begin our journey across Africa. (If the civil war in Sudan is unresolved we will fly from Istanbul to Addis Ababa for safety reasons)
Through our charity, Alala, we are committed to creating meaningful, sustainable change in the communities we partner with. On this expedition, we aim to complete two key projects:
Project 1 – Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Estimated cost: $5,000
In Turmi, two vital boreholes have become non-functional. As a result, children and families are forced to dig for water in a riverbed that remains dry for most of the year. This has led to widespread illness and, in severe cases, loss of life. With your support, Alala pledges to repair and maintain these boreholes. The costs include transporting materials over 600 km from Addis Ababa, as well as labour and equipment, amounting to approximately $5,000.
Project 2 – Tanzania 🇹🇿
Estimated cost: $30,000
Following the successful completion of our previous water project for the Maasai community, we now hope to build a school in a community we know well situated in Magulai of the Mwanga region. The children of this area currently lack both access to education and healthcare. Many of them dream of becoming doctors, nurses, teachers, and public servants, but without access to schooling, these aspirations remain out of reach.
Our plan is to construct two classrooms, alongside a sustainable agricultural space where both children and adults can learn to grow their own produce. This project aims not only to provide education but also to promote long-term food security and self-reliance. Including transportation, materials, and labour, the total project cost is estimated at $30,000.
We deeply appreciate your consideration of these projects. Every contribution directly supports communities in need.
Thank you for your time, generosity, and belief in our mission. Together, we can help turn these projects into lasting change."
