The 2025 Mswakini Health Camp
From August 5 to 7, 2025, CWF organised the first free health camp in the history of Monduli District. Medical practitioners from Canossa Dispensary and Themi Health Centre (Arusha), Monduli District Hospital, Makuyuni Health Centre, and Mswakini Village Dispensary participated.
More than 500 villagers were screened over three days. The results changed lives — and revealed the scale of what had been going undetected.
