Rotary Tanzania has today signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation (CCBRT) where by
Rotary is pledging funds to support the construction of CCBRT’s new clinic to provide
appointment based, private eye, orthopaedic and ear, nose and throat (ENT),
physiotherapy as well as imaging services.
Rotary Dar Marathon in Partnership with Bank M will support CCBRT by contributing
funds amounting to USD 1.5M over a period of 2017-2019. The grant is in in support of
CCBRT’s social enterprise project, which aims to expand revenues to be able to support
subsidised care in the Disability Hospital. Funds will be used to complete construction of
the Clinic, which will open in February 2018, and support the equipping and outfitting of
the facility.
Speaking on this new initiative of Rotarians providing communities with quality heath
care facilities, Rotary Dar Marathon Board Chair Sharmila Bhatt said “We are very
pleased to support an institution like CCBRT providing high quality care to patients and
especially in the area of disability. Part of this investment will be raised locally through
Rotary Dar Marathon in partnership with Bank M while other funds will be obtained
through our Rotary Foundation.”
Erwin Telemans, CCBRT’s CEO, commented on the new partnership with enthusiasm.
“We’re lucky to have Rotary as a partner in this exciting endeavour,” he said. “We hope
more partners will see the opportunity in supporting CCBRT’s growth as a social
enterprise.”
Rotary always aspires to serve the community by investing in areas where the most
good can be achieved and through this project CCBRT will be able to continue offering
affordable disability care to more people who cannot afford to pay for services from
profits attained through the new private clinic.
The Rotary Dar Marathon Chairperson 2017 Catherinerose Barretto said “On behalf of
the presidents of the seven clubs of Rotary in Dar es Salaam which are the organizers
of the Rotary Dar Marathon each year, I would like to take this opportunity to share our
excitement on this project and we hope all our other supporters individuals and
companies alike will continue to support the marathon so that we can achieve this very
ambitious and significant goal.”
