 Team Tanzania Scholar Award 2013


Promoting a Healthier Tanzania | One Doctor at a Time


Dear Maendeleo Supporter, 
 

Our 2013 fundraising season for the 
Team Tanzania Scholar Award 2013 has arrived!


 

Team Tanzania Scholar Award is the flagship activity of Maendeleo, an initiative by Tanzanians living in the United States to contribute to better health care for Tanzanians. Started in 2009, the Team Tanzania Scholar Award provides four $500 awards each year to the top first, second, third and fifth year medical students who are selected by their school based on academic merit.  Maendeleo believes that higher quality of care in Tanzania depends on highly qualified doctors, and this award accomplishes that by increasing competition and motivation for excellence among medical students.  Between 2009 and 2011, we awarded a total of $10,000 to 20 Award at Weill Bugando University College of Health Sciences (Bugando) in Mwanza.  In 2012, we extended the award to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical College (KCMC) in Moshi.  In 2013, we plan to expand further to medical students at Herbert Kairuki Memorial Medical College (Kairuki) in Dar es Salaam.  

 

We are proud to note that the award is gaining prestige and, more importantly, inspiring recipients to “pay it forward” as we heard from 2012 KCMC fourth year award recipient, Rashid Ally,


…I have decided to put this award money to good use by giving back to my community. For a cause and a purpose that is dear to my heart. My fellow classmates and I founded a charity group called shine a light in 2010.Every year we raise money to sponsor street children for primary school education at the Msamaria Center in Moshi . I have decided to use my prize money to sponsor the children for the year 2013.  


 

Team Tanzania Scholar Award is only possible thanks to the generous donations from our supporters, fellow Tanzanians in the diaspora and others.  We would like to extend our particular thanks to you for your consistent support to Maendeleo over the years; it is you who has made the award and its expansion possible.  Asante sana. We hope we can count on your continued support as we expand our efforts.   In 2013 we are committed to raising $6,000 so we can maintain the awards to Bugando and KCMC medical schools and expand to Kairuki medical school. Little by little, we believe we are making a difference in supporting the development of medical professionals committed to excellence.
