“That first case, a female, had traveled from Tanzania to Belgium on 3rd March and returned on the 15th March. She took a taxi to Arusha town where she locked herself in a room to self-quarantine but later called government officials who took her for treatment.

Not all family can afford getting quality and recommended hand washing facilities but everyone in rural Tanzania uses local way

Why Tanzania’s rural areas have remained safe from corona virus??:

We believe that with the support of our partners we will win the war against corona virus (Covid-19) in Tanzania

Our aim: Preventing infections and fighting against the corona virus in Tanzania, with main emphasis on rural areas and areas with poor medical and medial access. We will provide rural villages with hundreds of informational posters about the corona virus, to fight against misinformation or lack of knowledge on the topic. Furthermore we request friends,partners and those interesting to donate facilities for hand washing stations, as well as appropriate soap.

From may 2020 we are organizing the way we would get mask-“BARAKOA” to distribute in social gathering places like church,mosque,market and local shops and supplies.
