PAST OUTREACH EFFORTS

In the past, we worked with other Tanzanian Communities in the USA to raise over $30,000 through the Dhibiti Mlipuko campaign to aid in the purchase of critical medical supplies for COVID-19 to Mbeya, Pwani, Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam, and Zanzibar. Additionally, through the Every Breath Counts campaign, over $5000 was contributed to the Mnazi Mmoja Hospital to procure equipment for neonates, reinforcing our commitment to global health.
