This unit is on a main road near the Catholic Cathedral in Moshi town centre and was started in the 1980s ostensibly as a ‘coffee-shop’ but its true function was as a semi-official ‘drop-in centre’ for people who suspected they had AIDS and wished to be tested discretely. At first it was run on a shoe-string by a retired male nurse, but nowadays it is run by Sister Ubaldi Kessey and staffed by the medical department of Moshi and is especially helping HIV/AIDS patients. Patients pay 1000 TZ Shillings for testing (about 50p), thereafter treatment is free.

Education and out-reach programmes are in operation. They offer home based care (via 76 volunteers). The population covered is about 700,000 (Moshi Municipality, Kibosho, Kilema, Himo and Hai).

Inter Care visited in September 2009 and discovered that the staff and volunteers go far and beyond the call of duty most of the time to help people. It was established that although the centre is well supported by sponsors for salaries, they still have a great need for supplies from Inter Care.
