Maasai Healthcare Facility
Access to healthcare services in rural communities such as the Maasai Villages in Tanzania is extremely limited. Despite government efforts to bring medical services closer, many people are traveling tens of miles to access treatment.
Pregnant women are giving birth in unsafe environments and sometimes lose their life en route to the hospital due to the distance needed to travel and lack of ambulances.
Early child mortality rates are high in the Maasai villages compared to others due to lack of access to vaccines and antibiotics to prevent and treat diseases. Without a healthcare center, there is no place to store and provide important medicines to assist in diseases control.
Dental care is extremely limited. Many individuals within the community experience oral hygiene issues leading to loss of teeth and oral cancer.

In Losimingori and nearby villages the community at large does not have a closer healthcare facility to access healthcare. They travel more than 40 miles to access hospital, which is more expensive and also time consuming for them. Vijana Inspiring Foundation is looking for partners to help to change the situation and find a sustainable solution on which we are seeking to build the Maasai Health Center that will be able to help about 30,000 people to access healthcare in 5 villages of Monduli districts which are Losimingori, Lepurko, Mbuyuni, Naiti and Nanja.
In 2021, we build a community Center to bring community together for education, 2022 we build a rain water harvest tanks to help community members to access clean water and now our next phase is to help by constructing the health facility for villagers to enable them access healthcare in the village instead of traveling to 40 miles to access healthcare, by building of these, we are enabling children, women and elders to access healthcare in their villages.
The facility will be self sustainable because, villagers shall be able to contributes for their medication cost in the village on which it will help to cover running costs while helping them.
