HWPL Co-Hosts Nyerere Day Celebration in Tanzania

– Promoting Peace Awareness in the Community Under the Theme Healthy Citizens, Peaceful Society –

 

 

On October 14, 2025, the HWPL Global 02 Tanzania Branch co-hosted a Nyerere Day commemoration event with the government of Tanzania and the New Hope Community Development Organization. The event held under the theme, “Peace Sensitization of the Community,” brought together approximately 180 participants, including local residents and government officials.

The initiative was jointly organized at the official request of the Ministry of Health, with a focus on promoting a culture of peace through health. Hosted at the New Hope Community Development Organization, event participants included citizens, NGO representatives, and medical professionals who engaged in various peace and health-related programs.

 

 

The ceremony began with a sermon and prayer by a pastor, followed by two keynote presentations: one about the relationship between health and peace and another presentation about the importance of health awareness. Medical staff from Kairuki Hospital provided free health check-ups for citizens, offering participants a practical opportunity to understand the connection between personal well-being and peaceful living.

Seven booths were set up by institutions, including banks, hospitals, and NGOs. HWPL operated a booth introducing its peace education and international cooperation initiatives, drawing significant public interest in its efforts to foster a sustainable culture of peace.

 

 

“We are deeply grateful to collaborate with HWPL in this year’s Nyerere Day celebration,” said Baraka Chambua, general director of the New Hope Community Development Organization. “Through this partnership, local residents received free medical check-ups and gained awareness of the vital link between health promotion and peace consciousness. It was a truly meaningful occasion.”

The event was covered by one of Tanzania’s leading broadcasters, Azam TV.

“This event went beyond a simple health campaign—it became an opportunity for citizens to recognize and practice the value of peace themselves,” said an HWPL Global Branch 02 representative. “HWPL will continue strengthening cooperation with the Tanzanian government and community organizations to further promote a sustainable culture of peace.”
