This mission is meaningful to me because of the respect and passion I share with devoted members of the nursing staff. Mastida Aligawesa is a senior nurse and has overseen the Reproductive and Child Health program since 2010. She is an encouragement to expectant mothers and supervises well child checks and immunizations for the under 5's. During 2021 13,789 mothers and/or children were seen by the RCH clinic. - Barb Griffin, Tanzania Health Partnership Board Member
