We are working on an affiliation system that will allow your organization to be placed on our site in form of a "personal profile page." This system is currently in alpha development and will soon be available. If you would like to affiliate yourself (or have already done so) and would like to have your page setup please contact Jordan, our technology administrator, at: jordan@tanzaniasanitation.org.
