 After returning to Australia in 1991, Mrs Toulmin and her husband began to raise funds and awareness for the war plagued country of Zaire.Mrs Toulmin founded an organisation with her husband Graham Toulmin called, ‘Brass for Africa’ (money for Africa) which over the next 14 years built the "Rafiki Australië maternity clinic", established another dental clinic in Aru, provided care and support for 34 Anglican clergy, helped build schools, supported AIDS orphans, and provided food and medical supplies for the increasing number of refugees fleeing the civil war.They accomplished this by making CDs, giving Jazz concerts and sponsoring Congolese nationals to visit Australia to make more widely known the plight of the Congolese people.
