CCM women’s wing (UWT) at Msasani Ward in Dar es Salaam Region has donated sanitary pads to pupils and hospital supplies as part of events to celebrate the party’s 48th anniversary yesterday.

Institutions that received sanitary towels for female pupils are Msasani Primary School and Msasani Secondary School. The provisions were meant to enable beneficiaries study during the entire school calendar.

On the other hand, Mikoroshini Dispensary received essential supplies, including mosquito repellents, baby diapers and other necessities.

Speaking to reporter in Dar es Salaam at the weekend after distributing the items, Msasani Ward UWT secretary, Mwajuma Bwaru, highlighted the importance of community support initiatives, emphasising that they help address preventable challenges.

“Today, UWT Msasani has undertaken this important initiative. We have visited secondary and primary schools, as well as Mikoroshini Dispensary in Msasani, and donated essential supplies such as Hengan sanitary pads, mosquito repellent, baby diapers, and more. The goal is to support the efforts of President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s government,” she said.

Neema Poneka, a representative from Msasani B Primary School, expressed gratitude to UWT for the donations, noting that the supplies were crucial and would help reduce absenteeism among female pupils.

CCM celebrated the 48th anniversary of the party with week-long ongoing activities, showcasing significant strides in fostering development across the country.

Speaking during UWT symposium in Dodoma on Tuesday, CCM Vice-Chairman (Mainland) Stephen Wasira reaffirmed the party’s ongoing commitment to improving the lives of Tanzanians through broader range of development projects.

“These initiatives span various sectors, including education, health, agriculture, infrastructure and industrialisation, all aimed at enhancing welfare of the people and fostering economic growth,” he said.

The party was formed on February 5, 1977 under the leadership of Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the founding father of Tanzania.
