• Of the near 47 million people living in Tanzania, nearly ½ are age 14 or younger.
• There are only two doctors for every 100,000 people.• The average lifespan is ~52 years old.• ½ of all Tanzanians have stunted growth due to
malnutrition.• Only 7% of Tanzanians will ever complete secondary school
