Tanzania Medical Screening Mission

In partnership with Mother Mary of the Church, Olmoti Clinic, and the local health organization, A Global connection will provide free eye screenings, dental screenings, Cervical, CPR/ Resuscitation and Immunizations (children/babies). Training will include safe delivery kits, and NASG update and training. Our goal is to screen 500 people for three days in the Longido district.

For three days we will have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the Maasai families, providing much needed medical screenings as we get to know the mother, fathers, brothers, and sisters.

We will end our trip with a safari in the world famous Serengeti National Park the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world.
