HIV/AIDS...Musomas' response
HIV/AIDS has become part of the permanent condition in human settlements around the world especially in Africa and Asia. The highest incidence of HIV/AIDS is in cities and towns. There is growing consensus that strategies to reduce HIV/AIDS must go beyond health interventions because of its severe social consequences. The disease exacerbates poverty, creates orphans, marginalises people and stigmatises those afflicted and their families. It has also weakened the ability of local urban institutions to deliver services because so many employees are affected at every level of society.

Truly, not only in relation to HIV/AIDS, Musoma, like hundreds of similar regions out in Africa need a lot of help, from wherever they can get it from.
Every bit counts.
We as a community of people which grew up in Musoma, having a very special connection, a bond with Musoma are really saddened to see and realise what 'progress' has done to out little Paradise on this earth.
One of our community Dr Manjul Vasant is an MBE - Member of the British Empire - and he has undertaken to raise funds for various health and education related projects in Musoma. You can read more here: Charity Walk, UK and the main site which is being upgraded at : Musoma.com
As a community we have first hand contacts within Tanzania, in general and Musoma, in specific. If you need any sources of information, drop me a line via the email on Musomablog.com and I will do whatever I can.
Thank you for the time you give to Musoma.
