*Site under construction*

Health Australia & Tanzania (HAT) is a newly established organization that works in partnership with Tanzania to provide support to community initiated efforts that improve the health of Tanzanians. HAT is a value-based, non-profit organization run by volunteers HAPA.

What we do:

HAT works in partnership with HAPA (Health Action Promotion Association), a registered Tanzanian NGO, operating in the Singida region of Tanzania. HAPA develops projects in consultation with local villagers to meet the priorities and needs of their communities. All fundraising proceeds and donations from HAT are paid directly to HAPA, and allocated to specific projects.

Website:

HAT is working in conjunction with two teams of web development students from Swinburne University to develop a website. Victoria Shillong, Stuart Heggie, Denis Vandoros form the Tripod group and Nickson Piakal; Ariel Salmon and Nicole French form Group 10. The groups have finished documenting and designing the sites, and are now into the build phase. In November HAT will select the best website we feel will best assist us in our goals. The finished website will go live in December.

We are very excited to be working with the students and look forward to showing you our brand new site.
