❤️ Some partnerships go far beyond a one-time donation.
This week, Guido Buisman and Peter van Laarhoven from Laundrysystems B.V. returned to Sengerema District Hospital in Tanzania to carry out maintenance on the hospital’s laundry equipment.
Their involvement goes all the way back to 2019, when Evert Meerholz and Guido helped design and prepare the complete laundry system and travelled to Tanzania to install three industrial Electrolux washing machines.
But what makes this story so special is that their commitment never stopped there.
Over the years, Laundrysystems has continued to provide technical support, spare parts, advice and practical help — including another service visit in 2023. And now, once again, all the parts needed for the maintenance were donated. An Electrolux tumble dryer is also on its way to Tanzania in our next container, providing a valuable addition to the hospital laundry.
This is what meaningful partnership looks like: not just donating equipment, but continuing to care about what happens with it years later. 🙏
A well-functioning laundry may not be the most visible part of a hospital, but it is essential for safe and quality patient care. Clean laundry is a fundamental part of infection prevention and everyday hospital operations.
We are incredibly grateful to Evert, Guido, Peter and the entire Laundrysystems team for their generosity, expertise and long-term commitment to Sengerema District Hospital. ❤️
And a special congratulations to Evert and his wife on the birth of their baby daughter! 🩷
