District
Kasulu District is located in the northwest of Tanzania, it is one of the six districts of the Kigoma region, which has about 2.1 million (2012) inhabitants and is 9,324 square kilometers (approx. 4 times smaller than the Netherlands). This is one of the very backward regions in terms of development. Kasulu District has nearly 426 thousand inhabitants (2012). Many residents of the Kasulu district live off their land where maize, beans, bananas, cassava and many fruits are grown. The roads are often impassable, especially in the rainy season. It is often difficult to move from one location to another, making it very difficult for sick people, for example, to go from home to a hospital. read you more about Kasulu here.
