“ I’m very impressed with all the work that has been done by Afyaplus organization although it has no specific donors but they have being implementing their projects through fundraising and through Afyaplus 1st WASH Gala and today I received 15 hands washing facilities for secondary and primary schools in Iringa region.
I would like to congratulate AfyaPlus in recognizing the challenges facing school children, and focusing on giving them hands washing facilities which are very helpful especially now the country and the world is fighting against the pandemic of COVID 19 virus which can be prevented by proper hands washing with clean water and soap, wearing mask and keeping distance at least 100 meter from each other. We need more organizations like Afyaplus which work with the Government to solve different problems facing our community so that to make the school environment safe for school children and students."
