NBC Dodoma Marathon 2023: A Paramount of Corporate Philanthropy. | ZamotoHabari

By Godwin Semunyu,

Marathoners have a special way of teaching us about endurance and defying limits. Eliud Kipchoge's world record redefined human boundaries, while John Akhwari's superhuman finish in Mexico in 1968, despite injury, a dislocated knee, inspires.

In our everyday lives, we require this resolute spirit and mentality to confront challenges head-on. Ultimately, life unfolds as a marathon, demanding our enduring commitment and steadfastness to reach our goals.

NBC Dodoma Marathon 2023. Here for improved maternal health

We are excited to invite you to the upcoming fourth edition of the NBC Dodoma Marathon on Sunday, July 23, 2023, in Dodoma.

This extraordinary event is dedicated to generating funds for enhanced maternal health through cervical cancer awareness initiatives and providing valuable scholarship opportunities to aspiring midwifery scholars in Tanzania.

Raising Awareness for Cervical Cancer:

Cervical cancer claims the most lives among women in developing countries, often due to late-stage diagnoses stemming from limited awareness and inadequate screening.

To combat this dire situation, we have partnered with the Ocean Road Cancer Institute (ORCI) to amplify awareness efforts. Our goal is to reach a broader audience, encourage regular screenings, and offer financial aid for medical expenses.

Through fundraising, we have achieved remarkable milestones, including funding extensive campaigns, facilitating screenings for 23,500 women, and providing treatments for over 1,300 women. Nonetheless, our mission continues.

Provision of Scholarships to Midwiferies:

In addition to raising awareness about cervical cancer, we proudly partner with the Benjamin William Mkapa Foundation, a reputable NGO, to offer scholarships to aspiring midwifery students in Tanzania. This field is crucial in ensuring the health and well-being of expectant mothers and their children.

Our objective is to actively contribute to the progress and improvement of midwifery services, ensuring that women receive the essential healthcare they deserve throughout pregnancy and childbirth. Every single life is of utmost importance.
