In tandem with boosting the supply of traditional medicinal plants and spreading indigenous healing knowledge, Terrawatu has been constructing traditional medicine clinics around Arusha to serve both local and expatriate populations.
In 2005, the World Bank Grants Facility for Indigenous Peoples awarded Terrawatu a grant to support this effort. Co-funded by the Tonlie Fund, Gibbs Farm and individual supporters around the world, Terrawatu has been using the funds to:
Apprentices from rural villages work under the guidance of elder doctors in order to pass on what was once a dying art.
The clinics are also serving as headquarters for the development of Maasai Herbal Tea blends. The product is available locally at luxury lodges around northern Tanzania.
