Ritha – Kenya

Public Health intern, Art in Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

I am a community health graduate, and I was performing a public health program with Art in Tanzania. Initially, I was looking to work with women in medical facilitation centres. I ended up connecting research work and performing home visits. It has been a remarkable experience for me. I was working on violence against women issues, which was a very emotional experience. Working with women is my passion. I feel art in Tanzania can affect societies in Dar es Salaam and overall in Tanzania. 

What ART is missing is strong partnerships to make a crucial impact on societies. I will never forget the friends I made and the women I worked with. I am coming back. I think ART can focus on empowering existing projects rather than adding more projects, as that would easily make a stronger impact.
