Our Work

For approximately 16 years, we have been fighting Anopheles, a female mosquito who breeds in wet dark places and creates havoc wherever she goes.

In Tanzania, she is responsible for over 100,000 deaths a year – 70% are pregnant women and children under 5. Even those who survive often suffer from chronic anemia, brain or kidney damage, like these children above.

In our effort to eliminate malaria we carry out trainings in schools and in the community.

During the training we ask questions and the first to answer with the correct information

We supplied the Malaria Focal Officers with sufficient sprayers to cover the whole of the Kilimanjaro Region

Residual Spraying is carried out in houses, hospitals and heavily infested areas.

We plant Cedrela Odorata trees in heavily infested areas such as pit latrines .

We supply Laboratory Equipment to rural dispensaries

Malaria Awareness at District Conferences  

REMIT has distributed over 137,000 mosquito nets.

But this is not our only effort to control malaria we are entering a new phase – this time in PRE- elimination.                              

We are training in malaria pre-elimination activities, identifying and controlling arbovirus infections (Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika) in the swampy areas below the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

About 483,936,  the general population of the district are benefitting from the services  offered through these health facilities.

1. Our key target for malaria diagnosis is to ensure that 100% of malaria cases are diagnosed  and confirmed by slide microscopes and to sustain these targets from then onwards. Malaria positive cases are treated promptly.

2. With the Introduction  of Arbovirus rapid test kit.  Laboratory and clinic staff are being trained on the diagnosis of Dengu, Chikungunya and Zika virus as well as Malaria.

3.  Health education is in liaison with community members, school children and college students to increase knowledge and awareness and preventative measures to prevent regarding these virus infections.
