TANZANIA RURAL REVIVAL

At Makete District Hospital we have helped with new pipes and a storage tank to improve the availability of water, particularly to the Children's Ward. It was only available for four days out of seven previously. We have sent out a container of various kinds of medical equipment - even the container itself is in use... Someone from TRR visits both Makete and Nkasi every year. Sometimes there is more than one visit. We do this to see how things are progressing with projects we are supporting and to discuss the next steps with local people. The costs of visits do not come out of money donated to TRR projects... So we support Juhudi (Zeal), a group of women who have set up a kind of Credit Union. We provided the original Loan Fund and now nearly 40 women belong to it.
