Generous donations to the Tanzania Project allow the Project’s team members to bring necessary medications for surgery and medical care – especially ones that are not widely available. Each trip, team members carry over multiple bags of JUST pills and fluids. These medications have a huge impact on the people we serve. Simple medications like acetaminophen, antibiotics, and topical creams can reduce suffering and connecting patients with HIV and TB medication programs can be lifesaving.

Sorting and packing supplies before each trip is a big group effort. All of these will eventually be put into our notorious red duffel bags and carried as luggage to Tanzania.
