Healthcare
We support the operations of a medical clinic that serves as the primary medial care for a region with nearly 20,000 residents. Our medical staff are equipped to treat the leading causes of death in Tanzania including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, lower respiratory infections, prenatal condition, and malaria.
Education
We support primary and secondary education for children in Igwachana and Mlingali. Students enrolled in our program are equipped with shoes, uniforms and the necessary school supplies.
Women-led Business Associations
These associations are comprised of over 200 women that run three retail shops, a tailoring business, a livestock rearing project, a timber forestry project and a micro finance institution. Profits from the association are invested in growth opportunities, community development projects, and to provide a safety net to meet the extraordinary needs of association members. The associations also coach and train other associations in neighboring villages with best practices for growth and development.

Earlier this year the Kuza Project team launched two new business associations, one in Mlanagli and one in Igwachanya. The aim of these associations is to invest in groups of women that are working together to lift their families out of extreme poverty.
Both groups submitted business plans and budgets to our Tanzanian staff, and both have chosen to start businesses focused on breeding chickens for eggs and meat.

Dental care in Igwachanya was virtually non-existent before we opened our dental clinic in November of 2010. Before then, the nearest dentist was a two hour bus ride away. Since the opening of the clinic we have been able to serve over 2,500 people in the area with free and low cost dental care.
