Hapa Kuna Neno La Leo!

Naitafuta falsafa iliyojificha katika ujumbe huo. Ipo, tatizo kichwa changu kina vitu vingi alfajiri hii ninapoandika haya. Je, wewe unaweza kutoka na neno lako kutokana na picha hiyo? Maana, jamaa anasema; ' nimerudi toka vitani'. Anafanya hivyo huku ' vita vikiendelea' maana, kwake yeye, ' maisha ni vita'. Je, amerudi kutoka vitani au aliviacha vita, akaondoka na sasa amerudi wapi? Na kama maisha ni vita, basi, kuna kuondoka kutoka vitani kwenye maana ya kifo. Na kama maisha ni vita, na vita katika maisha ya binadamu ina maana gani?.... Ngoja niendelee na mengine, maana hapo naliona ' neno la leo' hata kama litakamilika kesho!

Kumbukumbu: Mama Adelina Mapango

Kumbukumbu ya Miaka Miwili ya Kifo cha Mama Adelina Mapango (Mama Chahali)

Mama Mpendwa,


Ilikuwa saa 4.30 usiku,tarehe 29 Mei 2008 ulipotutoka.Nakumbuka nilipopigiwa simu kufahamishwa kuwa Bwana Amekutwaa,nilidhani ni ndoto tu.Japo ulikuwa umepoteza fahamu kwa zaidi ya miezi mitatu kabla ya kukumbwa na mauti sote tuliamini kuwa siku moja ungeamka ukiwa mzima.Mama,japo leo ni miaka miwili tangu ututoke,bado nahisi niko ndotoni na nimeshindwa kabisa kukubaliana na ukweli kwamba haupo nasi.Mara kwa mara nakuona ndotoni,lakini napoamka nagundua ni ndoto tu,na hiyo inazidisha uchungu na majonzi.


Baba Mzee Chahali,uliyeishi nae katika ndoa kwa miaka 50,anaendelea kukukumbuka mno.Ni vigumu zaidi kwake kukabiliana na kututoka kwako kwa vile ulikuwa ni rafiki yake mkuu,mtu wake wa karibu kabisa na kila kitu kwake kama ilivyo kwetu.Mapacha, Kulwa (Peter) na Doto (Paul) nao wameendelea kuwa na wakati mgumu kwa vile wewe ulikuwa zaidi ya mama yao.Walikutania,walicheka nawe,walikusaidia kazi za nyumbani,walikwambia furaha na majonzi yao,na waliringa kuwa na mzazi mwenye upendo kama wewe.


Japosiku zote tangu ututoke tumekuwa na wakati mgumu sana,siku hii ya leo tunapoadhimisha miaka miwili ya kifo chako ni ngumu zaidi kwetu.Inaleta kumbukumbu zisizoelezeka na zisizostahimilika.


Kazi ya Mungu haina makosa.Tukijiuliza sana kwanini alikuchukua wakati bado tunakuhitaji sana tutakuwa tunakufuru.Tunajaribu kujifariji kwa kuamini kuwa alikuchukua kwa vile alikupenda zaidi yetu.Na tunajitahidi pia kujiridhisha kuwa huko ulipo unapata pumziko la amani na unaangaziwa mwanga wa milele ukistarehe kwa amani.Japo haupo nasi kimwili lakini siku zote tupo nawe kiroho.


Pumziko la Milele Akupe Ee Bwana na Mwanga wa Milele Akuangazie Ustarehe Kwa Amani,Amen.

Maternal health in Tanzania - Building consensus and action among Muslim diaspora

Scoping Exercise in Tanzania: Consultant Terms of Reference


Background

MADE in Europe (www.madeineurope.org.uk) is a UK-based NGO working to mobilise European Muslim communities on issues of global poverty and injustice. Its work focuses on three areas: creating opportunities for Muslim youth such as volunteering and campaigning; capacity building for Muslim development-sector organisations and supporting cross-faith partnerships.

With the support of the Commonwealth Foundation, MADE in Europe is initiating a project on maternal health in Commonwealth African countries with large Muslim populations. The issue the project sets out to address is the persistent slow pace of progress to achieve MDG5 – improved maternal health – and specifically it seeks to change the continued low priority that support for maternal healthcare provision has in faith-based and diasporic giving by working with UK-based organisations to influence communities and challenge them to increase their support.

In the initial phase the project will focus on Tanzania through a scoping exercise in Tanzania on current initiatives including existing faith-based maternal health provision and existing UK diaspora-led work, and capture needs, challenges and gaps in provision. Concurrently research and consultations will take place in the UK with diaspora and faith-based organisations to assess their current programmes, strategies and priorities related to maternal health. The findings of the research will be presented to UK-based Tanzania diaspora representatives through a facilitated workshop to gain a greater understanding of the diaspora’s views surrounding maternal health issues and programmes and to identify potential areas where diaspora and faith communities can contribute to this work.
