Accomplishments
As stated above a large number of villagers now have clean water where they did not have it before. The total impact is about 11,000 people for the year. Some of these projects actually began in the year before last. Also, our grant from Abbott Fund (of Abbott Labs in Chicago) is dedicated to the HIV/AIDS work of ours.
Current Goals
Our goals for 2011 are to continue to provide HIV/AIDs service to an even larger number of victims and orphans, with the new numbers to be 200 and 150 respectively. Also, we will continue to renovate the water system in Matumbulu, and begin our efforts to select the next village to work with.
Community or Constituency Served
Our work is done in the poor villages surrounding the city of Dodoma, Tanzania
