Di d you also know that they are one of the largest corporate donors to drinking water safety? Early in August Pamoja Project was contacted to lead an effort to bring P and G’s clean drinking water initiative to 300 Tanzanian families living with HIV, or with children under 5 years.

Responding to a Changing HIV/AIDS Pandemic

Responding to a Changing HIV/AIDS Pandemic In Tanzania, the future for people living with HIV/AIDS is looking brighter all the time.  Anti-retroviral drugs are available, stigma against those living with the disease is slowly being reduced, and fewer people are in bed at home waiting to die.  This is not to say the epidemic has been contained, only that the needs of these folks have changed. What are the new set of needs? Well, the HIV/AIDS clinics are so full of patients that there is no time for doctors or other staff to discuss nutrition, medication adherence, or do any more than register a name and hand out some pills.

A Year End Message From Carol

A Year End Message From CarolWhen our nation is in a period of crisis, it is difficult to look a bit further away at the effect upon our neighbors in the developing world. There has never been a time during which we were as economically interdependent, where when one nation suffers, the whole world suffers. It’s not just a matter of money, although that is part of the truth.  It is also a matter of faith, and hope, and knowing we are all going to be ok.  At this time of year, we are called to remember such things.  And so, we at the Pamoja Project  hope you will join us in supporting the continued health, education, and prosperity of  Tanzanian children,  as well as all children living on the planet.   May you have a joyous and peaceful holiday season and New Year.
