If you have a complete set, or a single instrument to help make up a set, that you wish to donate email us on [email protected] to arrange collection.
The Project for 2026 is to provide funds to build a new kitchen at The Salvation Army’s Mukuyuni Secondary School. The video above provides an overview of the project and the costs involved.
[November Update] The kitchen is almost complete, just the interior to fit out and complete. The gutters have been connected to a 10,000 ltr storage tank.
