About Us
Baylor College of medicine Children’s Foundation Tanzania
Between June 2019 to July 2020, Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation – Tanzania reached a thousand children and their families with testing, treatment, and educational services during the reporting period as part of our goal to meet the UNAIDS 95-95-95 objective.
We would not be able to achieve so many things without the financial support from our donors, the collaboration of community leaders and host institutions, and the tremendous commitment of the Baylor- Tanzania staff to strengthening the health system and improving the health of children and adolescents infected and living with HIV/AIDS in the Lake and Southern Highland Zones and beyond.
Our innovative model of family-based health care and support services is rapidly increasing the impact we have on paediatric HIV and related conditions. We treated more than a total of 2700 patients this year, including tuberculosis and malnutrition clients. HIV case-finding initiatives tested more than 5558 children and caregivers in the operational zones of Baylor-Tanzania, not including many thousands more who were tested at the sites we mentor clinically.
While we take time to celebrate successes, we recognize there is much work ahead, ever reminding us to remain diligent in our cause—always learning and keeping long-range goals in focus. In the core areas of prevention, treatment, education, and community strengthening, Baylor-Tanzania has implemented robust and effective programmes that have reached not only individuals but families and even whole communities.
