Programs

Connecting Communities to Healthcare Since December 2007 Trans Tanz has been operating one pioneering and successful project with its community partner - Uhakika Kituo cha Ushauri Nasaha (UKUN) – in the Bagamoyo district of Pwani region. Our goal is to run a total of two or three such projects and to use these as a basis for changing the way that mainstream services are provided.
