Woohoo! It was the We Are Africa Innovation Awards last night, and we scooped the Engage Africa award for Beds for Meds!
Beds for Meds is a true labour of love in the Nomad family, and every life it transforms is its own immeasurable reward. Our resourceful team makes sure no opportunity is missed: using everything we have - space on planes, in cars, in camps, guides’ free time, contacts with medical professionals countrywide - we bring life-changing healthcare to the remotest corners of Tanzania. This accolade means the world, and we couldn’t be prouder of the endlessly wonderful folk who make a lifetime of difference.
Pictured here is Mama Selina, a beneficiary of the eye clinic that brought doctors to her far-flung village near Mahale. With her is our very own Butati, aside his instrumental role in helping his community to get the care they need, he was also nominated for the Rise Africa award 'recognising those up and coming young stars making a mark in the African travel industry'. What a superstar!
