        Harambee: Investing in Our Meru

              Partnership in Tanzania

Harambee means “lifting together.” In a six-part Harambee video series, we will share the three mission priorities of our partners in Tanzania as “a community working together for the common good.” The first priority is training future leaders. The second is supporting their vital medical ministries. The third is providing a bridge for ministries challenged by the COVID economy.

In the Tanzanian culture, pastors serve many roles beyond being spiritual leaders. As part of the Ascension Lutheran (Waukesha) partnership, Pastor Nathan Makenge was an active part of digging a 9- km. (5.5+ miles) trench for a community water project that now brings safe water to 3000 people.
