- The Rev. Geoffrey Monjesa, development officer for the diocese of Masasi, took a group of Canadian Anglicans to the water pump in Ndomoni in southern Tanzania. "Until the pump was installed at the end of January 2017, most of Ndomoni's 1,321 residents walked up to eight kilometres to the nearest village to get water, or relied on surface water from ponds, which required boiling. Now, because of a project funded by the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) as part of a nutrition and food security project (known locally as the Community Health Improvement Project, or CHIP, which came to a close in March 2017), this walk has been shortened to a little more than a kilometre. The Canadians are members of a PWRDF delegation that has come to the diocese of Masasi to learn more about All Mothers and Children Count (AMCC), a larger project that builds off work done during CHIP. Though AMCC is focused on maternal and newborn child health, Monjesa uses this trip to the borehole to show how interconnected different aspects of the development projects are: there is a vast web of factors that affect health, and water is one of the most essential".

- "Special Edition". "Working with some of the most marginalized people on the continent, PWRDF partners in Africa integrate gender, human rights, peace building, and HIV and AIDS work into their poverty reduction programs. All health programs implemented by partners have a strong HIV and AIDS component. The focus of partners' work is prevention, education and fighting stigma; care through home-based care services or hospices; and support of people affected and infected by AIDS such as orphans, low-income families, and AIDS patients". PWRDF is currently working with partners in Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Sudan and Tanzania.

- A description of the 15 May 2017 visit to Mtandi Clinic near Masasi by the Rev. Geoffrey Monjesa, development officer for the Anglican diocese of Masasi, and a delegation of Canadian volunteers and staff of the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), the relief and development arm of the Anglican Church of Canada. "Built in the 1990s as part of Partners for Life, a PWRDF project to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic sweeping sub-Saharan Africa" (p. 10) the clinic has since taken on "an expanded role, becoming a focal point of a PWRDF project on nutrition and food security that emphasized maternal and newborn health. Through this project (known locally as the Community Health Improvement Plan, or CHIP), a maternity ward was built up, and PWRDF provided a regular stock of drugs and medical supplies" (p. 10). "Due to the success of the CHIP project, which wrapped up in March 2017, a second larger project called All Mothers and Children Count (AMCC) was initiated in 2015. It will run until 2020, and aims to provide medicine and education to several dispensaries, both within Masasi and neighbouring Tunduru" (p. 11). "According to the Rev. Linus Buriani, who works closely with Monjesa on an AMCC project currently underway, the challenge lies in building the local population's confidence in the dispensaries and clinics" (p. 11).
