MAJI SAFI GROUP: HANDS SHOULD CARRY DREAMS, NOT DISEASE

Mama Jane is a perfect example of the importance of understanding disease transmission and empowering people with the knowledge to prevent illness and improve personal, family, and public health!

In the Mara Region, millions suffer in extreme poverty just like Mama Jane, and as they have never had the opportunity to learn about disease transmission and prevention, they frequently face expensive hospital bills and funerals. MSG is dedicated to breaking these barriers by creating fun, interactive, and female-led programs that provide practical and holistic solutions to the health problems our participants experience.

Learn more about our programs and volunteer opportunities!

HEALTH SCREENINGS

A great public service and a metric to measure disease prevalence amongst current and potential program participants.

Health-Screenings-Maji-Safi

During the years 2015-2019, MSG conducted an annual Health Screening Campaign as a public service and a way to monitor the impact of MSG’s WASH education. Approximately 25,000 participants were tested for amoebas, intestinal worms, schistosomiasis (bilharzia), and malaria – all common water-related diseases. In cooperation with the Rorya District Medical Office and practicum students from the US, MSG screened participants and provided them with appropriate medications and educational flyers. The health screenings helped patients keep track of their well-being and provided an incentive for community members to get involved in MSG’s programs. In addition, the health screening results enabled MSG to compare the disease rates of our program participants to those of community members who had not received our education.

SINGING AND DANCE GROUPS

Using cultural customs to teach WASH and empower rural youths
to be change makers in their communities.

Singing-and-Dancing

Over the years, MSG has used these dances, songs, and skits extensively to teach students and spectators how to:

  • avoid water-related diseases,
  • practice proper handwashing,
  • prevent fecal-oral disease transmission, and
  • practice proper menstrual hygiene management.

MSG no longer runs a specific Singing and Dance Program, but this effective way of disseminating knowledge about WASH, behavioral change, Menstrual Hygiene Health, etc. is still widely used in our programming.

RoryasGotTalent

Song and dance are of great cultural importance in Tanzania. They are perhaps the most effective medium for communicating disease prevention to a community. In MSG’s Singing and Dance Group, students learned life-saving lessons in a fun and memorable manner, developed their talents, and became community leaders. Following WASH lessons, students worked together to create songs, dances, and skits to perform for their families, friends, and community members at MSG events.

Sing and Dance

Rorya’s Got Talent

For many years, the Singing and Dance Group held annual auditions for the Roya’s Got Talent competition.

Participants wrote songs and skits and performed choreographed dances to communicate their WASH knowledge to peers and members of the community.

Once the best 10 participants had been chosen, MSG hosted a semifinal event and then a final event, each attracting over 1,500 community members.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

After School Program

CHEs taught WASH and disease prevention lessons in a fun, nurturing environment. Art, games, puzzles, and other activities encouraged students to develop their creative and cognitive skills. This way, the things they needed to learn became things they wanted to learn! In addition, their knowledge trickled down to their families. Over the academic year, students learned about:

  • sanitation,
  • personal hygiene practices,
  • waterborne and water-related diseases,
  • water treatment,
  • the fecal-oral disease cycle,
  • bilharzia, and
  • the benefits of preventing diseases.

To enable proper WASH techniques, MSG provided schools with demonstration ceramic drinking water filters and handwashing stations. At the end of the program, our staff artist painted a large WASH-related mural to serve as a reminder of lessons learned and as an inspiration to future students.

The After School Program was one of MSG’s very first programs, started in 2013. Its purpose was to teach students about water-related disease prevention and proper WASH behaviors, so they could stay healthy and succeed in school. In 2015, the District Education Office approved MSG to teach in all 125 primary schools in the Rorya District.

Over time 6,000+ students attended this program.

MAJI SAFI CUPS

Maji Safi Cup 1

Combining disease prevention education and team sports to promote a healthy and cohesive community.

Football (soccer) is a popular pastime in Tanzania. Organized tournaments are a common occurrence, and each game attracts hundreds of spectators. This community tradition affords a unique educational opportunity.

For several years, our CHEs would organize a month-long Maji Safi Cup on a biannual basis. These tournaments also included netball matches for women and girls. Before each football or netball game, teams must attend a one-hour lesson about WASH and disease prevention. Combining athletics and education promotes overall wellness and makes lessons more memorable and thus more effective.

The winners of a Maji Safi Cup were awarded school supplies and WASH products. Although only one team was crowned as champions, all tournament participants benefited from team-building and pre-game lessons!

LEARNING TOOLS

MSG is proud of its creative and original curricula, songs, art, games, outdoor murals, and train-the-trainer programs.

Learning Tools_Mural 3

Male Hygiene Groups

The Male Hygiene Program began in 2016. It empowers boys and young men to respect themselves, girls, and women and lead a culture of change. The program also helps young men be part of the movement to break the stigma and silence around menstruation, help girls stay in school, and close the gender inequality gap.

FEMALE HYGIENE PROGRAM

Menstrual Hygiene Management in Tanzania

Though all residents face WASH issues, it is necessary to look at the situation through the lens of gender in particular. In Tanzania, female hygiene has traditionally been a taboo subject, and most schools lack adequate facilities for young women. Without access to proper sanitary materials and fearing ridicule for bloodstains on their skirts, many girls miss school during menstruation. Lower attendance rates severely limit academic potential and contribute to a cycle of disempowerment. Maji Safi Group, through our work to promote public health, seeks to establish a more comprehensive approach to menstrual hygiene management in Tanzania. We lift the stigma around female hygiene to empower girls and help them reach their full academic potential and become strong leaders.

Female Hygiene Groups

Young women, ages 11-18, meet with CHEs in after-school groups to learn about female hygiene, health, and puberty. All groups, as well as girls from surrounding communities, are also invited to attend Saturday meetings at MSG’s office. The girls:

  • learn about female health,
  • share stories,
  • seek advice, and
  • engage in peer-to-peer education.

Participants also receive reusable sanitary products to promote proper hygiene and prevent absences from school. MSG strives to offer several different options, such as reusable pads, period panties, and menstrual cups.

HOME VISITS

Homevisit-Program-Page

Community Health Educators

For these reasons, CHEs meet with primarily female heads of households to assess their family’s WASH situation. Lessons are tailored to the specific needs of each family, but general topics include: 

  • the economic benefits of preventing diseases,

  • water treatment and storage,

  • toilet use,

  • handwashing,

  • fecal-oral disease cycle,

  • food preparation and storage,

  • personal hygiene,

  • bilharzia, and

  • other neglected tropical diseases.

Delivering WASH knowledge to doorsteps.

In Tanzania, women are typically in charge of WASH-related activities such as, water fetching, cooking, cleaning, and bathing. This makes them the most crucial stakeholders in disease prevention. Educating women empowers them to become change makers in their homes and leaders in their communities. Our CHEs visit individual families to inspire action and transform communities—one home at a time.

Visits to a home are prioritized based on:

  • interest,
  • family size,
  • number of young children,
  • neighborhood disease rates, and
  • local government input.

Family Meetings

Based on initial assessments and rates of progress, CHEs meet with families three to five times over six to 10 weeks. Within the following year, CHEs will revisit families to ensure that good habits are sustained. Home Visits provide each household with equal attention and access to life-saving information. They also foster personal relationships between CHEs and participants. If residents have any questions following the visits, they know there is a friendly face or hotline ready to help. Building trust, confidence, and community is the way to stop disease from continuing.
