In 2007, TARA received a grant from the Kenyan Tourism Trust Fund (TTF) towards the construction of a new museum and community centre on Mfangano Island, set to be completed by mid-September. The project is fully managed by community-selected representatives from various regions across the District.

The TTF grant does not cover all aspects of the project and TARA, the implementing organization, has been seeking for financial and material support from other stakeholders to bring the project to its logical conclusion. A truly inspirational project, already many heritage professionals and others from various fields of expertise are contributing in various ways, including time and expertise pro bono.

TARA is pleased to announce that several partners in Kenya's private sector have alsostepped forward with support, through their Corporate Social Responsibility programmes, namely:

Crown Berger (K) Ltd. (paints and supplies valued at approx. Kshs. 120,000)
Pelican Signs Ltd (inaugural plaque valued at KShs. 72,000)

To them, we say THANK YOU!
