Tanzania
Schools and borders are closed. However, Tanzanian President John Magufali has been criticized for encouraging the public to attend places of worship. President Magufali has stated that Dar es Salaam will never be in lockdown.
Concerns and Challenges
Business has slowed as travel restrictions have been put in place that limit the transit of goods to one driver.
Adaptation Measures
In addition to manufacturing reusable sanitary towels, WomenChoice Industries has begun producing and distributing reusable masks to their staff and the local community.
Rockflower’s Emergency Fund donated the money for WomenChoice Industries to make face masks for our other partner in Tanzania, Mategemeo Women Association. They were finished last week and sent by bus from Tanga to Arusha.
