Our Vision
To make things better in a world of increasing contrasts and inequities. We aim to be a small, effective organization producing tangible, measurable results in needy global environments with minimal costs and overhead.
Our Mission
To make health care delivery and outcomes better in western Tanzania. In doing so we hope to make the world a better, healthier, and safer place. Our efforts will be directed at people in need and not limited by religion, nationality, geographic borders, or fear.
Our Strategies
We believe the best way to improve health care in needy, resource challenged environments is providing education and improving medical infrastructure. To that end we have supported:
-
Direct medical and surgical volunteer work to Biharamulo District Hospital since 2007.
-
The Clean Hands Project: Supplied 24 non water soap hand washing dispensers throughout the hospital that often has no running water.
-
The Portable Ultrasound Project: With help of Sonosite Corp. we brought rapid, portable bedside diagnostic capabilities to Biharamulo Hospital that often has no electricity.
- Breast Cancer Research: Working with researchers at The University of New England and Maine Medical Center and The Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center the SCF supports the development of NOHA a point of care blood biomarker for diagnosing breast cancer in resource limited areas like western Tanzania.
- Solar Power: We believe 21st century health improvement is impossible without reliable electrical infrastructure. Sub Saharan Africa is custom made for solar power which saves money and supplies consistent electrical power to power medical technology.
