On August 27, at the request of President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, and the first family, Rafiki wa Binti officially launched in Tanzania!

The event was attended by Zanzibari Deputy Minister for Education and Vocation Studies Hon Ali Abdelgulam Hussein, members of Vinjana De Jong leadership team, and Rafiki was represented in Zanzibar by Rafiki Australia Tanzania Directors Joseph Kahama, Caroline Tuni and Salim Sultan.

The day included a ceremonial hand out of Binti Packs at Kidongo Chekunda School, to be followed by education sessions and commitment to donate 2,000 packs (12,000 pairs of underwear) to students in rural areas of Zanzibar.

Over the coming weeks, the Rafiki team will provide period education, fitting and distribution of a further 500 packs each (totalling another 12,000 pairs of period underwear), to Mafinga, Kilwa, Kilimanjaro and Kagera.

A HUGE thank you to our Rafiki Directors Joseph, Carol and Salim who have spent the week in Zanzibar and proudly represented Rafiki.

We’re so excited to get this project off the ground – and what a way to do it, with the support of Government, Mama President and the first family!

24'000 pairs of period un**es have landed in Tanzania 🥳

These happy faces will be some of the recipients of our first major rollout of Binti Packs.

That's 4,000 girls who will get to go to school and manage their journey to womanhood with confidence.

A Binti Pack contains six pairs of reusable period underwear, cleaning instructions, an educational book, and a wet bag for spare or dirty storage,
all packed in a fun carry bag.

Therapy and splinting is an integral part of maintaining and improving range of motion after surgery.

Kris continued Sharon’s work with Marion, and the therapy team is working wonders.

The Tanzanian therapists purchase plastic pipes at the market as cost-effective and accessible product to make splints. How ingenious!!
