THE Mission - Intro & Mission Statement
|
 THE Mission,
Tanzania Health and Education Mission, is a California non-profit,
charitable organization* established in 2007 in
order to support the local health clinics and schools in the Kilimanjaro region of
Tanzania. THE Mission Statement. Our mission is to deliver directly to the people of Tanzania goods and services to improve their health and education. The health services include providing medical supplies and equipment to three dispensaries, purchasing medications to assist people who cannot afford to pay for the medications, and helping to train health professionals to work in the local clinics. The educational services include purchasing and delivering directly to the schools, school supplies including science and math materials and some athletic equipment, and visiting the students in the classrooms. We also sponsor orphan students in their education and sponsor technical training for health workers in the clinics. We participate in community health education relating to preventable illness and disease, targeting specific preventive health care projects such as the mosquito bed nets for the prevention of malaria. It is the plan of THE Mission to send a delegation of volunteers to Tanzania each year to deliver supplies and resources, to work with the people continuing to assess their needs and priorities, and to experience the tremendous beauty of the people and the land of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. We believe it is important to travel to Tanzania to deliver supplies and to create direct relationships with the providers of health and education services in order to make our work most effective. This provides accountability and ensures that the funds and supplies will be delivered as intended. |
