Meet Uhuru Mplaza, Chair of FRRTL – our partner organization in Kindwitwi


We are very lucky to have Mr. Uhuru Mplaza as chair of the Foundation for Rapid relief of TB and Leprosy (FRRTL), our partner organization in Tanzania. Uhuru has been chair of FRRTL for nearly three years now, but his association with Kindwitwi goes back much further than that as he served on the Boards of KLCCDA and FRRTL as Diocesan officer for more then ten years before he became Chairman.

His various qualifications in Business Administration and Community Development Planning give him ideal skills to lead the FRRTL Team.

Local Non-Government Organisations (NGO’s) are closely monitored by the Government Registrar of NGOs. FRRTL is one of only 5 local NGOs which are allowed to operate in Rufiji District, others have been de-registered by the NGO Registrar as they did not comply with the strict regulations needed to operate as an NGO. Thank you Uhuru and your team for ensuring the work of FFRTL is allowed to continue.
