A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health was proud to welcome Her Excellency Salma Kikwete, first lady of the United Republic of Tanzania, to campus Apr. 19. She joined leadership from Project C.U.R.E. on the Arizona campus for lunch and a tour of the ASDOH Clinic.
HE Kikwete was in town to serve as the guest of honor at the sixth annual Project C.U.R.E. First Ladies Luncheon at the Arizona Biltmore. Proceeds from the luncheon will be used to deliver medical supplies and equipment to Tanzanian hospitals. Project C.U.R.E. is a Colorado-based, non-profit organization dedicated to helping meet the need for medical supplies, equipment, and services around the world.
The first lady is also the founder of Tanzania’s Women in Development Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to an increased number of economically empowered women, progressive communities, and educated, healthy children.
Because of the close alignment of the organizations’ missions, the ATSU lunch and tour provided an opportunity for ASDOH leadership, Project C.U.R.E. leadership, and the First Lady to discuss ASDOH’s commitment to community service and how the groups may be able to collaborate in the future.
