Vijiji Tanzania Cares
The poor progress towards improving maternal and child health outcomes is not due to a lack of technical solutions.
Vijiji Tanzania provides the substantial evidence documenting the positive effects of a range of low-cost technologies, community-based interventions for maternal and child health in rural communities.
However, reliable delivery systems for life-saving and sustaining interventions are lacking in most of rural communities. From this angle Vijiji Tanzania works in the range of proven low-cost interventions, including vaccinations, oral-rehydration therapy and zinc for diarrhea, insecticide treated bed-nets and anti-malarial drugs for malaria, antibiotics for pneumonia, and skilled birth attendants to improve intrapartum care, coverage is below 50% globally. Low coverage of interventions is often due to an inability to reach a population in need.
