How can you help improve lives and health in Tanzania?

  • Pray for the doctors, nurses, staff and patients of the Ilula Health Center, of the eight dispensaries in the Iringa Diocese, and for the
    task forces at work in the Saint Paul Area Synod and in Tanzania

 

  • Join the Ilula Health Center Task Force at its monthly meetings.  In addition to people knowledgeable about medical facilities and
    programs, we need people skilled in the areas of publicity, fundraising, and facilities planning.

 

  • Invite others from your congregation to participate, by listing upcoming meetings in your weekly bulletin or monthly newsletters,
    distributing fliers, inviting task force members to speak at your adult forums, or using our traveling visual display in your narthex.

 

  • Donate medical supplies, midwife kits, hospice kits, and money for shipping costs and medical scholarships to our partner
