All About Trans Tanz:

Trans Tanz is a charitable organisation founded in 2006 and registered in both Tanzania (14756) and the United Kingdom (1117510). Its mission statement is to provide support and access to healthcare for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) in Tanzania.

Trans Tanz is committed to working in partnership with community based organisations in the areas where it provides services. At present the organisation runs a single project in Bagamoyo region in partnership with Uhakika Kituo cha Ushauri Nasaha (UKUN) to provide free transport for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the Bagamoyo district of Tanzania to access antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. These are available without charge but many poor Tanzanian’s living with HIV/AIDS are unable to afford the cost of public transport to access them. The project can serve up to 150 patients on a regular basis

In a short time Trans Tanz has built strong on the ground relationships with partner and with Government and has established a reputation as an innovative and respected organisation. We are keen to expand our services to other areas of Tanzania and to demonstrate that transport based services can reduce barriers to accessing healthcare for PLWH.

Drawing on our experience and learning from organisations such as The AIDS Support Organisation in Uganda and Riders for Health who operate in an number of countries across Africa we have developed a model whereby ‘field officers’ using motorbikes would transport ARVs to communities. This model would be more cost effective and enable us to support a greater number of clients whilst offering them are more convenient and effective service. We are currently seeking funding to expand in this way.
