Each year Tandaza Trust holds a fundraising walk in Nairobi, Kenya. The funds raised support accommodation, rehabilitation and education services for homeless women in Nairobi. In 2015 Wacuka Kamau, the then Director of Tandaza Trust, organised the first Tandaza fundraising walk in Australia. Since then it has become an annual event.

We would love you to join us for all the fun of this year’s walk:
When: Saturday 14 September at 1.00pm.
Where: The walk leaves from our gazebo at Tench Reserve, Penrith, opposite the Coffee Club. We will be easy to spot by our balloons.
What: We follow the path through Tench Reserve along the beautiful Nepean River to the Penrith Weir. It is a 7km walk but if you would prefer to take a shorter walk you are able to return from any distance.
This is a family friendly activity in a lovely location. Bring the children to play in the park, bring the dogs who will love the walk, bring your friends. Perhaps even bring a picnic lunch for before or after the walk. See some of the fun had on previous years below.

Walkers are asked to make a donation towards the work of the Tandaza Trust. Donations may be made on the day by cash or card.
Alternatively donations can be made by Direct Deposit to BSB: 012-098 Account No: 3002-70942 or securely on line here via Paypal:

Our Fourth Annual Walk for Tandaza was held in 2019!

The Annual walk for Tandaza is a major fund raiser for Australian Friends of Tandaza each year. This it was a truely interntional event. Tandaza Trust held their fundraising walk, Bold for Change, on the 10^th August. AFoT’s own Ken Kamau was in Nairobi at the time and dropped the flag for the start of the walk which was a great success. On the same day several members of AFoT were visiting Miltenberg, Germany where they walked in support of the Bold for Change walk.

Then on September 18^th AFoT held their fourth Annual Walk for Tandaza at Tench reserve Penrith with an amazing turn out. Thank you to all who braved the weather and to those who donated to the Trust through the walk. See you again next year!

The Annual Walk for Tandaza 2018 was a great success!

Saturday 8th September was a cold and wet day but the weather did not dampen down the enthusiasm of our loyal supporters. After a welcome from the Chair walks set off along the river walk on foot, bike and pram enjoying good company and having great conversation whilst raising funds for Tandaza Trust. The afternoon ended with some sweet treats and a birthday celebration for the founding Director of the Tandaza Trust Wacuka Kamau

Thank you to all who braved the weather and to those who donated to the Trust through the walk. Seey you again next year!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Annual Walk for Tandaza 2017

On Saturday 12th August a group of supporters gathered at Tench Reserve for the 2017 Annual Walk. It was a bright and sunny afternoon and after a short welcome speech by the Chair of Australian Friends of Tandaza and the launch of our new fundraiser cookbook A Taste of Tandaza walkers took to the footpaths and walked the trail to the Penrith Weir and back!

Young and old enjoyed the afternoon alike, as did a number of four legged walkers. As well as the donations for the walk many cookbooks were sold along with Kenyan handicrafts. All funds raised on the day will go to the Tandaza Trust in Nairobi.

Our Annual Walk for Tandaza 2016 was a great success!

On Saturday 27 August over 50 people along with bikes, scooters, strollers and dogs took part in the walk. In beautiful late winter sunshine with a slight breeze everyone set off on the Bridge to Bridge walk along the Nepean River, Penrith. People went at their own pace and enjoyed each others company along the way. The walk finished back where it started at the Coffee Club Nepean River, which had very kindly hosted our registration table.
