<p>The IOP brings together the financial support of international sponsors and donors with the local expertise of its many committed Tanzanian staff and volunteers. The Ilula area faces a daunting triple threat of poverty, HIV/AIDS and water scarcity. IOP has chosen education and empowerment as the central tools to confront these challenges.</p>
