People die young here in Tanzania. 10% at childbirth, another 20% by age five. One village where we are working, 80% test positive for HIV! About 12% of women die giving birth in their lifetime. Etc. Not statistics, these are real people. Our neighbors. But it can be different. We are working on sustainable village healthcare and group health insurance for poor villagers. The first effort of its kind that we are aware of. Truly integrated development. Economic development connects to human development. Just like the vines growing on this hostel where we stayed last night, we're bringing life. Peace,

My wife Lonnie came to Tanzania with instructions to keep me well! Today we're working on health of local neighbors.
