The Creator Share Foundation
The new name of Share Tanzania
The goal of Share Tanzania has always been to reach and aid as many people as possible. With that in mind, our new name gives way for our impact to reach far beyond where it started.
From humble beginnings in a tiny house, in a small village in the foothills of Kilimanjaro. The NGO has grown to encompass multiple homes, supporting over hundreds of children, families and nearly as many beloved pups too.
Our name change lends to our growth and there has been no better time as we move forward
thanks to the love and support of our donors. Currently construction is underway for our state-of-the-art children's home. This new home, or village as we'd like to call it, is an eighthour drive south of our founding location. Upon completion, it will house 500 children and vulnerable adults in need of care and support. It is our aim to replicate this blueprint across developing countries.
Share Tanzania, registered NGO/1989 remains the name on the ground in Tanzania. The NGO is comprised of the various projects gracious funded by our donors. These projects include Community Outreach, Featherstale home for disabled children and able-bodied orphans, Angels Gate home for street involved children, and the Dog Rescue Shelter.

PROJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Featherstale Children's Village continues to be a loving home for over 100 children. Before our guardianship, some of the children were neglected, abused or abandoned. Other special needs children come to live at the village with their single mothers. The mothers are given the opportunity to earn an income working as caregivers or have the opportunity to work out in the community knowing their children are being cared for. The nurses and therapy team continued to bring progress and improvement to the children children's lives.
A ngels Gate Center for Street Involved Children continues to be a safe home, aiding in the rehabilitation of boys who have suffered traumatic events living on the streets. Depending on their age and proficiency level, the boys attend primary and secondary school, or vocational and college course. The Music and Arts School, located next to Angels Gate, continues to provide the boys an outlet for self-expression and healing through music and art.
Community Outreach continues to provide nutritional support and hygiene packages to underprivileged families in the local communities. The outreach team works tirelessly to identify children in need of rescue and support people in crisis and provide assistance to individuals in need of medical care and hospitalization.
OUR FAMILY
Diana's Story
Diana and her sister were found living without adequate care many years ago. At the time Diana was 12 years old, had never walked or said a word. The sisters had only ever eaten maize flour or rice and were malnourished. Diana has cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. For a time while in our care, she was able to crawl around. She has since lost her mobility due to the muscular dystrophy, but her beautiful smile still remains.
Over these last 8 years her light and smile have brightened the lives of all around her. Diana is a special part of the Share Tanzania family and is loved by so many.
Faustine's Story
Faustine was living a hard life on the streets before coming into our care in 2017. As soon as he moved into Angels Gate, he was reenrolled in primary school and then continued on to secondary.
Faustine joined a small workshop to learn general carpentry and found his niche. In September he was given the opportunity to follow his dreams and started his training at a vocational school for carpentry.
Corporal's Story
Corporal was found by a woman traveling in Tanzania. She followed the sound of his cries and quickly realized the pup was in need of help. She brought him to our shelter where he has since been living happily among the pack. He is a sweet natured boy with bounds of energy and loves to jump.

Charitable Contributions
The majority of funds received by The Creator Share Foundation are individual donations made through our website.

Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the net incoming resources for the year. The charity also receives funds by way of restricted and unrestricted grants, from foundation and corporate entities.
Grant Making Policy
The charitable activities of The Creator Share Foundation are achieved through its grant making policies and by the provisions of the mission of the charity. For the 2021-2022 year we granted funds to the Tanzanian NGO, Share Tanzania. We have continued to have significant collaboration with the NGO by discussing which of their works to support through grants. Reports are received from the NGO on activities and overall progress toward each year’s budget and planning. The charity supports the full running costs, projects, and expansion of the NGO through its grants.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Sharing can, and does change lives.
With deep gratitude we thank all of our supporters from all over the world, for being part of our vision to create a better and safer world. Our work is only possible because of donors like you.

Since the charity’s income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member both of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, both listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
