Thanks to our SIP Tanzania board and staff, construction of a minor surgical theatre building was completed in July. SIP was able to send a wire transfer of $30,000 to support the first purchase of equipment in July and we’re planning to send a second installment to fully outfit the theatre in September. The expectation is that by late fall, the surgery theatre will be operational and providing life-changing support to people in need.
