Mkombozie Centre for Street Children
Year: 2000
​
Project Details: Fort-seven percent of children in this area do not attend school. Many children come to the Mkombozie Centre to get away from the abusive home environment they once lived in. This centre provides longer-term education programs. Mkombozie is the only centre in Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions to work with older boys by providing them training and counseling to help remove them from violence of street life and become a productive member of the community.
Kilomeni Clinic- Renovation, Medical Equipment & Medicine
Year: 2016
Project Details: Kilomeni Parish is located in northeast of Tanzania. It is in the most remote and mountainous part Kilimanjaro region. The dispensary was established in 1926 by the missionaries. At that time, it was the only health center in this part of Kilimanjaro region. Over the years the building deteriorated as no major repairs were done to the house. The dispensary serves two secondary schools, and four primary schools and treats about 100 patients a month. The Loya foundation provided financial support to renovate the clinic, purchase medical equipment and provide medications.
Bargish Clinic in Mbul-Manyar/Tanzania
Year: 2017
Project Details: The Government of Tanzania has allocated funds for a health center in the City of Bargish but the people of the area are also required to make a contribution to the construction. The economic situation of the area is fragile, and both the Government’s and the people of the village’s efforts are not enough to complete the project. This clinic would serve about 3,000 people in a remote, often difficult to navigate, highlands. As a result, many expectant mothers, small children, and other people with vulnerable diseases lose their lives before getting to a District hospital. Once the clinic is running, it would reduce the mortality rate, help solve health problems, and add employment opportunities in this area. An indirect benefit is that the Government would be obligated to provide the village with electricity and safe water. The Loya foundation provided financial assistance for the construction of the clinic and purchasing of Clinic items.
