Below is most of a 2018/19 WhatsApp conversation
Letion is a contracted health worker in Northern Tanzania
Here is what is being achieved – no reinventing the wheel – just assisting great organisations that already exist, deliver great outcomes.
Arusha surrounds – a typical outreach trip
Letion at work
We are planning to set up 12-30 health workers in conjunction with local organisations who can go out into Arusha’s areas, villages and townships and provide better health options. We have started.

Patience!
Mal is our volunteer member of youcanchangealife who mentors Letion.
