Roger H Strait Memorial Foundation

Operations in tanzania serve the nation with first responder outreaches (fro) and friendship english schools (fes). Our partnerships with churches, government hospitals, and local municipalities have demonstrated encouraging results. We finished the year with 4 schools serving 59 students and conducted 3 first responder trainings serving 53 students, but the projects are being initiated and executed by our 3 main church partners in dar es salaam, iringa, and arusha. We (sft) spent more time working in leadership development and serving smaller under-resourced churches in tanangozi and iringa with one-on one mentoring of emerging leaders. We continued our collaborative trainings on emergency medicine with manyara regional hospital serving 25 medical professionals.
