lagging behind and it is not only the role of the government to play but
everyone must contribute to the improvement of the education sector in

different CSR activities and Sustainable actions as follows:

Speakers International has been actively involved in different health programs to
include Stand Up for African Mothers in Tanzania and donates to AMREF Tanzania.
This is due to the fact that every year in sub-Saharan Africa, almost

representing 56 per cent of the global total. This translates to 800
women dying every day. Over 80 per cent of these deaths could have been

see the need to support AMREF Tanzania to sort out this issue and their hope is to see total eradication of this
challenge in our Continent 100%.
