This Malaria Partners International small grant project, in collaboration with RAM-Global and the Rotary Club of Moshi, Tanzania, awarded $5,167 for the purpose of malaria control in health centers and boarding schools located in two coastal Districts: Pangani and Muheza.
The CHW training was facilitated by a professional trainer from National institute of research (NIMR) with help of Malaria focus person under National Malaria intervention guidelines.
LLINs were provided and installed in the hospitals, health centers, dispensaries and government boarding schools. A malaria focal person from the Ministry of Health will conduct follow up visits to ensure good net usage.
