Since 2004, Touch’s work in Tanzania has improved the health and wellbeing of the Tanzanian people. We have invested over $60 million in strengthening Tanzania’s health system, mitigating its healthcare worker crisis and improving the lives of 17 million Tanzanians, nearly one-third of the country’s population.
