... and thanks for visiting the pages for OLPC related matters in Tanzania. OLPC is the One Laptop Per Child '''Universal Primary Education project''' and largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever. Supported by United Nations, OLPC is '''an "[[Open Commmunity" project]]''', similar to the [[Wikipedia]] and [[Open Source]] Community projects, like [[Linux]], [[OpenOffice]], etc. and it is working along [[Agenda 21]] and [[Millennium Development Goal]] nr.2: Bringing Universal Primary Education.

The aim of this educational project is on one hand to bring Universal Primary Education by 2015 as - anno year 2000 initiated - '''United Nations [[Millennium Development Goal]] nr.2'''. On the other hand, OLPC's mission is to manage the open hard and software project, to bring forward the best possible laptop combination for education: the [[XO-XServer combination]]. For this and above approach, - and also a lot of lobbying by the right persons on the right places and time - '''the United Nations is a Partner in this Open Community project'''! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever, and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there. Things are moving very fast indeed: 2008 saw the first 3 countries with full coverage, i.e. with all kids age 5 to 12 equipped with these smallest schools in a box-laptops and [[Australia]] is now following at fast pace too, over 86.000 [[eBooks]] available, all education disciplines covered, etc. etc.. |

Beaucoup d'inhabitants cherchent fortune ailleurs. Therefore there is a very very large diaspora. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages, set-up, link-up their projects with OLPC, coordinate projects and that they can inspire many in their host countries to come along. It is so difficult in these host countries to develop additional value and hence make money. In many regions in the home country however it is so easy as everything is to be developed. |
|||
Also the societies from the host countries will benefit from the Tanzania diaspora who has one leg in the host country and another still in their countries of origin. Maybe it will start by developing leadership for OLPC, but soon it will be accompanied by exporting technologies, know-how and experience from the host countries along Agenda 21, the MDG's and together you will be able to accelerate bringing the level of quality of life in Tanzania to a level that will inspire others, existing generations and generations to come. |

Tanzania is one of the 18 partner countries of Belgian governmental cooperation were selected on the basis of their degree of poverty, aspects of good governance and Belgium’s potential for providing meaningful support. The precise criteria for selecting countries are set out in the law on international cooperation, which limits the maximum number of recipients to 18 partner countries. |

More than 35 million HIV-infected people most of which are women and children live in the developing world, yet it is estimated that only one in ten persons infected with HIV has been tested and knows his/her HIV status. The United Republic of Tanzania, located in Southeastern Africa, on the coast of the Indian Ocean is home to a population of 38,329,000 . Per capita income is estimated to be at about $350 a year, thus Tanzania is considered one of the poorest countries in the world. HIV infection has reached epidemic proportions in Tanzania, and the country is currently one of the most affected countries of the sub Saharan African region with an estimated 1.3 million adults and children living with HIV/AIDS. Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV has been available in Tanzania for more than a decade. However, it is estimated that less than 20% of all the infected individuals in Tanzania are currently receiving treatment, the most affected persons are living in rural and hard to reach communities. |

OLPC Tanzania is an innovative approach to XO deployment which focuses on peer tutoring and a bottom-up distribution model. The pilot project is based in Dar es Salaam, Moshi, and Kibosho on HIV Diagnostics for Children. Practical HIV diagnostics are urgently needed in resource-limited settings like Tanzania. While HIV infection can be diagnosed using simple, rapid, lateral flow immunoassays, HIV disease staging and treatment monitoring require accurate counting of a particular white blood cell subset, the CD4(+) T lymphocyte. To address the limitations of current expensive, technically demanding and/or time-consuming approaches, we have developed a simple CD4 counting microfluidic device. This device uses cell affinity chromatography operated under differential shear flow to specifically isolate CD4(+) T lymphocytes with high efficiency directly from 10 microliters of unprocessed, unlabeled whole blood. CD4 counts determined in our device matched measurements by conventional flow cytometry among HIV-positive subjects over a wide range of absolute CD4 counts (R(2) = 0.93) during clinical trials at Massachusetts General Hospital. CD4 counts will be obtained under an optical microscope connected to OLPC XO Laptop in a rapid, simple and label-free fashion. |

**OLPC Tanzania is proud to announce OLPC partnership with The East African Community (EAC). |

== OLPC XO HIV Diagnostics== |
|||
According to the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the EAC and OLPC in Kampala, Uganda, the two organisations agreed to work together to leverage the advantages of the laptops in transforming primary school education and to promote strategies for better access to laptops and connectivity– especially for the region’s underprivileged children. |
|||
The pilot program will distribute 30 educational laptops to local healthcare providers across Tanzania. For this project we are collaborating with Kiwakkuki, a non-governmental organization in Tanzania that was created in 1990 to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Kiwakkuki was founded to empower women and children in the region to access infomation about the causes and consequences of HIV/AIDS and to assist their communities in combating HIV/AIDS with education, counseling, emotional support and medical care. Today, Kiwakkuki works to improve awareness of HIV/AIDS with free testing, mobile healthcare workers, counseling, orphan support, home-based care, and community education. Kiwakkuki staff will be trained on the XOs and the CD4 device to conduct HIV diagnostics, and they will subsequently train local clinicians at villages in Tanzania. We believe that this CD4 microfludic device with XO imaging can be used for simple, rapid and affordable CD4 counting in point-of-care and resource-limited settings like Dar es Salaam Tanzania, the site of our pilot program. |

The pilot program will distribute 30 educational laptops to rural clinicians across Tanzania to conduct HIV diagnostics using microfluidic technology developed in BAMM Labs, lead HIV preventative education workshops in their communities, and track local antiretroviral drug distribution. This project is a collaboration between BAMM Labs at Harvard-MIT Health Science and Technology, Healthnovations International, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center, and Kiwakkuki, a non-governmental organization in Tanzania that was created in 1990 to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. The goal of the project is to empower HIV/AIDS victims in the region to access information about the causes and consequences of HIV/AIDS and to assist their communities in combating HIV/AIDS with access to primary healthcare, education, counseling, emotional support, and medical care. |

More than 35 million HIV-infected people most of which are women and children live in the developing world, yet it is estimated that only one in ten persons infected with HIV has been tested and knows his/her HIV status. The United Republic of Tanzania, located in Southeastern Africa, on the coast of the Indian Ocean is home to a population of 38,329,000 . Per capita income is estimated to be at about $350 a year, thus Tanzania is considered one of the poorest countries in the world. HIV infection has reached epidemic proportions in Tanzania, and the country is currently one of the most affected countries of the sub Saharan African region with an estimated 1.3 million adults and children living with HIV/AIDS. Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV has been available in Tanzania for more than a decade. However, it is estimated that less than 20% of all the infected individuals in Tanzania are currently receiving treatment, the most affected persons are living in rural and hard to reach communities. A significant problem associated with existing ART delivery systems in Tanzania are the limitations of conventional methods to diagnose and monitor infected individuals living in rural poor communities. In order to increase access to HIV care and improve treatment outcomes, there is an urgent need for low-cost diagnostic tools that could be implemented in remote rural settings. Determining the absolute number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in blood is vital for evaluating HIV-infected patients and has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. The CD4 count is used to initiate treatment and to monitor the response to treatment. Guidelines recommend that patients be monitored routinely for CD4 counts. Currently CD4 counts rely on flow cytometry technologies. Available flow cytometers cost from $30,000 to $150,000, and a single CD4 count can cost upwards of $50 per result. While lower prices are available in some resource-limited countries, the cost remains unaffordable for many patients, and the test must be performed at a central laboratory. |
|||
Given the widespread lack of viral load testing, Tanzania Ministry of Health has required that changes in CD4 counts be used as the primary means to monitor patient responses to ART. The standard laboratory equipment and kits used for CD4 cell counting have limited penetration in Tanzania, however, despite ongoing international efforts to extend ART in these areas. A severe shortage of trained laboratory technicians across Tanzania has been the major barrier. Flow cytometers, including smaller single-purpose CD4 cell counting devices developed recently, require extensively trained laboratory technicians to handle and process samples and to analyze and report data. Because flow cytometry-based CD4 cell counting is beyond the reach of so many HIV-infected people especially at the secondary (village clinics) and tertiary (Home-based care) health care levels in Tanzania, XO HIV Diagnostics that will make possible the staging and monitoring of HIV-infected patients especially women and children in resource-limited settings (small towns and villages) in Tanzania. This, in turn will allow people access to CD4 counts and ARTs at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of the healthcare system in Tanzania. |

We will also implement a microinsurance program in the clinics. This program will function with the community members earning "health points", allocated and redeemable only by the clinician or healthcare workers. Individuals living in these rural areas will earn health points by showing a commitment to their health. These health points would then allow the patients to receive preferential access to limited resources available at the clinics including antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) and formula milk for infants of HIV-infected women. It is our hope that this microinsurance program will incentivize people to prioritize their health and actively utilize the resources of the clinics. |

The Reconciliation Ministry Tanzania works with churches, schools and communities to the strengthen capacity of children especially the girl child to be masters of their own destiny. Through creating educational opportunities and initiatives for disadvantaged children, Reconciliation Ministry accelerates the necessary positive social change that improves the welfare of children. Our Rescue Project supports runaway Maasai girls escaping forced early marriages and Female Genital Mutilation by empowering them through skills development in vocational training programs. Our target group for the XO is underserved children aged 6 – 12 years mostly attending rural schools, in urban slums and orphanages. Family of the students selected to participate in this project will also be indirectly impacted by this project. The indirect impact has been explained in detail in an earlier section.Participating institutions are: Usa River Children’s Centre (for street children), Olepolos Children’s Centre, Ngaramtoni orphanage (90% girls) and Ndoombo Orphanage Centre, Duluti, Arusha. |
|||
The goals and objectives include; to provide learning opportunities for children and training opportunities teachers; to provide low cost access to information for news, weather, market price indices, healthcare, preventive education against substances abuse and HIV/AIDS; increase education through digital literacy and numeracy in the target community;provide learning tools to the underserved school in rural and slum areas; stablish centre for the distribution of learning and media technologies in rural Tanzania; to contribute to the curriculum content and advocate for the inclusion of new learning technologies. Reconciliation Ministry’s plan of action includes community advocacy, which will emphasize innovative learning using media technologies while highlighting the potential benefits, ownership and sustainability of the project. The project team will lobby for the inclusion of the new technology in the educational curricula. The project will generate audio recordings, and written stories in both Kiswahili and English. Youth activities will be incorporated in the community newspapers and the local radio broadcast, community youth publications and HIV/AIDS network group newsletters. The future of Tanzania can be secured by investing in children’s education. Tanzania has a illiteracy level of nearly 60 per cent, high poverty levels in rural households. After 40 years of independence, Tanzania remains one of the 10 poorest countries in the world. The HIV/AIDS scourge has increased the misery of children by creating more orphans and other vulnerable children. Many children aged between 06 and 13 years undergoing primary school education in rural Tanzania have no access to quality education and appropriate technology for learning. The reasons for this are poverty, a poorly performing economy, corruption and an inefficient education system. There are no opportunities digital literacy and numeracy. Project sustainability will be supported by local partners who will engage in project activities, make contributions as well as assume project ownership. Our local partners include churches, Ministry of Education, Municipal authority, private enterprises, foundations, NGOS and health networks. A local project committee comprising leaders, teachers and the local administration. Reconciliation Ministry will carry out a continuous self evaluation system to monitor progress and choices available for future action. Reports will be relayed back to OLPC via email or posting updates on the website. |

... and thanks for visiting the pages for OLPC related matters in Tanzania. OLPC is the One Laptop Per Child Universal Primary Education project and largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever. Supported by United Nations, OLPC is an "Open Commmunity" project, similar to the Wikipedia and Open Source Community projects, like Linux, OpenOffice, etc. and it is working along Agenda 21 and Millennium Development Goal nr.2: Bringing Universal Primary Education.

The aim of this educational project is on one hand to bring Universal Primary Education by 2015 as - anno year 2000 initiated - United Nations Millennium Development Goal nr.2. On the other hand, OLPC's mission is to manage the open hard and software project, to bring forward the best possible laptop combination for education: the XO-XServer combination. For this and above approach, - and also a lot of lobbying by the right persons on the right places and time - the United Nations is a Partner in this Open Community project! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever, and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there. Things are moving very fast indeed: 2008 saw the first 3 countries with full coverage, i.e. with all kids age 5 to 12 equipped with these smallest schools in a box-laptops and Australia is now following at fast pace too, over 86.000 eBooks available, all education disciplines covered, etc. etc..
Beaucoup d'inhabitants cherchent fortune ailleurs. Therefore there is a very very large diaspora. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages, set-up, link-up their projects with OLPC, coordinate projects and that they can inspire many in their host countries to come along. It is so difficult in these host countries to develop additional value and hence make money. In many regions in the home country however it is so easy as everything is to be developed.
Also the societies from the host countries will benefit from the Tanzania diaspora who has one leg in the host country and another still in their countries of origin.
