As we kick off 2021, the health and wellness of our children and wider community in the rural mountains of Northern Tanzania remains a top priority.

Looking back at 2020

Back in 2018, we formed a beekeeping team comprised of 13 female and 17 male REAP members that trained with us in the art of sustainable honey harvesting. Maintaining beehives is no simple task. Our 30 keepers learned how to clean, bait and colonize hives as well as practiced making honey filtering systems and harvesting beeswax for candles and creams.

Some of the cases that come through the clinic go well beyond our scope of work. Dedicated to ensuring that every member of our community gets the care that they need, in such cases we assume the roles of medical case manager, supporter and advocate.

On October 7th, Standard 7 students across Tanzania will sit for the Primary School Leaving Examination, a culminating, two day exam that tests students on everything they have learned over the past eight years of primary school.
