Communities against coronavirus: Tanzania

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Over the past few months Tanzania's tech community has been mobilised to produce much needed personal protective equipment or PPE for hospitals. It's an initiative that was started by Lillian Madeje and Zuweina Farah who run an annual tech conference in Dar es Salaam called Bits & Bytes. They started off by bringing together 3D printing technicians to produce face shields. Bola Mosuro has been speaking to Lillian Madeje.
