Last week, five members of our Unite team returned to Dar es Salaam following a 15-day tour across Tanzania visiting the homes of our newest class of Unite Scholars. The goals of these home visits were to:
Bear witness to the realities of our scholars’ daily lives in their home environments,
Meet their families and/or caregivers,
Explain—face to face—who we are, what we do, and why we do it,
Answer any and all questions, and
Assess needs and identify potential interventions to improve lives.
In 15 days…
Our team traveled by van, 4-wheel drive, motorcycle, boat, and foot.
Total distance traveled: 3,174 miles
Total estimated time on the road: 88 hours
Scholars’ homes visited: 22
VillageS: 20
Districts: 17
Regions: 10
