Transforming WASH Services at Masanga Health Centre Strengthens Healthcare for Thousands in Northern Tanzania
Patients, healthcare workers, students, and surrounding communities in Tanzania's Mara Region are benefiting from improved water, sanitation, hygiene, and healthcare waste management services following the completion of a major WASH improvement project at Bikira Maria Mama wa Tumaini (BMMT) Health Centre in Tarime District. The project was implemented by Sanitation and Water Action (SAWA Tanzania) in partnership with WEFTA and funded by the Daughters of Charity International Project Services
The project was developed in response to needs identified during a Circuit Rider monitoring visit, which highlighted aging infrastructure, inadequate sanitation facilities, limited handwashing stations, and water storage systems requiring rehabilitation.
The completed improvements have strengthened water, sanitation, hygiene, and healthcare waste management services at Masanga Health Centre while improving conditions for patients, staff, and the surrounding community. Through continued local ownership and routine maintenance, these investments are expected to provide lasting benefits for years to come.
