We are very excited to announce the completion of our Mother and Child Centre and Diabetes Specialist Unit. We are very grateful to all our sponsors, staff and the local community in Kikavu for providing all the support needed.
On the day of the inauguration members of the government and the entire community were present to celebrate this great achievement. We will never forget all the dancing and singing from the locals, as an expression of their gratitude for something that will transform their quality of life.
The impact of such a centre on the lives of so many mothers and children is going to be huge. We have already been able to reduce the maternal and infant death rate. Currently, in Northern Tanzania diabetes is the cause of 1 in 5 deaths due to poor management of the condition. With this new facility their quality of life is going to improve even more.
