OUR CHARITIES
Tumaini la Maisha, TLM.
Children’s cancer charity caring for children with cancer in Tanzania
Who would like to save a child’s life while racing in the Kilimanjaro Marathon 2025?
Did you know that childhood cancer is curable when diagnosed early? 85% of kids with cancer in resource rich settings are fully cured. Tumaini La Maisha has been working across Tanzania for 13 years supporting hospitals (including KCMC), providing chemotherapy, nutrition, supportive medications, diagnostics and other childhood cancer services free of charge to all children in need.
Tanzania’s children’s cancer care story began with the treatment of just 100 children in 2005, when survival rates barely reached 10%. Fast forward to 2023, TLM supported over 1,000 new patients with survival rates now reaching to 50%. Learn more about our efforts on our website www.wearetlm.org
While these achievements are indeed noteworthy, there’s still so much ground to cover on our path to reach every child in need and continue to close the cure gap. There are so many children who tragically die before they reach the care they need and deserve.
TLM is committed to reaching every single child – but we need your support to do this – small donations from many donors can make a massive impact to this urgent need – can you help us spread childhood cancer care across Tanzania?
The video below provides a glimpse into the daily life of a child with cancer in Tanzania.

We invite and urge you to make your Kilimanjaro Marathon 2025 event experience even more meaningful by doing something truly powerful. Together, let’s make every step count and bring hope to families and children in Tanzania facing a cancer diagnosis. Get involved in the following ways:
- Runners:
- Create a personal fundraising page in benefit of children with cancer. Tap into your network of friends and family encouraging them to donate. https://www.wearetlm.org/ways-to-help/run-for-good/
- You can also donate directly to TLM as you register for the race online
- Sponsors:
- Consider making a CSR donation through https://www.wearetlm.org/ways-to-help/
- We’d love to hear from you to build a relationship between your company & TLM
- Everyone:
- Click here to make a once off or join our GEM (Give Every Month) club https://www.wearetlm.org/donate/
- Please spread this message to all your friends, family, colleagues, clubs – these children need everyone on their side
Together we in Tanzania can dream big – together let’s offer EVERY SINGLE CHILD the support they need. Together we can!
