About Afyaplus Organization:

Afyaplus is a non-profit organization operating under the NGO Act 2002, focusing on disease prevention and control through Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives, as well as empowering adolescents and young women. In Tanzania, there is a gap in social and economic services such as health, education, water, sanitation, and nutrition, prompting the government to call for assistance from individuals, groups, and communities.
