Mwanaisha Said Salim Selected as Community Health Educator

Africa School Assistance Project (ASAP) and Maji Safi Group (MSG) were awarded a 2018 International Collaboration Fund grant from the Posner Center to incorporate MSG’s WASH curriculum into ASAP’s Kupanda Project leadership program with girls.
Both organizations have been working together in the US and in Tanzania over the last month in order to identify, interview and select a Community Health Educator to lead the Kupanda Girls Junior Community Health Education Program. They are pleased to announce Mwanaisha Said Salim as their new Community Health Educator. She is a respected member of the community and has considerable public health and WASH experience. MSG and ASAP are both excited about the skills and experience she will bring to their collaboration.

In early June she will be traveling to Shirati, Tanzania to begin a month-long training conducted by Maji Safi Group. After completing her training, Mwanaisha will return to Mwanza along with several of Maji Safi Group’s Community Health Educators to facilitate additional training of Kupanda students and to begin school-wide training and club development.
