Jinsi ya kuwasiliana na walioko Tanzania kwa kutumia Google Voice ama VoIP

   , , , , , ,

Kama uko Marekani au Canada, unaweza ku-install Google Voice na kuitumia kupiga simu kwenye namba ya mtu moja kwa moja aliyeko Tanzania.

Natoa maelekezo kwa wanaotumia simu za Android (sina iPhone hivyo sijui kama mtiririko wa maelezo unafanana) 

  1. Install Google Voice (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice) 
  2. Open na kufuata maelekezo ya kujiandikisha na kupata namba ya bure
  3. Bonyeza hamburger menu (mistari mitatu juu kushoto) 
  4. Bonyeza "Credit" 
  5. Bonyeza nukta tatu (three dots) juu kulia 
  6. Bonyeza Add Credit chagua na fuata maelekezo 
  7. Rudi kwenye Google Voice na piga namba kutoka kwenye contact list yako au kwa kutumia dial pad

Angalizo: Kama utapiga kwa kutumia Google Voice na isitoe mlio wa kuita simu, kata kisha jaribu kupiga tena na tena, eventually itaita namba unayoipigia. Unapaswa kuendelea kukata na kujaribu tena na tena.

Kama huwezi kutumia Google Voice, jaribu mbadala wa VoIP nyingine, unaweza kujaribu zilizoorodheshwa: https://www.voiprates.info (direct link ya kulinganisha gharama za kupiga simu Tanzania kwenye simu za mkononi ni: https://www.voiprates.info/?company=&country=Tanzania&type=%CE%9A%CE%B9%CE%BD%CE%B7%CF%84%CF%8C&currency=USD)

Kwa wanaotumia Starlink na kutaka roaming, ni muhimu kufuata maelekezo kuepuka kukatiwa huduma kama utatumia katika nchi ambayo haijaruhusiwa bado, "Using Starlink Roam in a unauthorized country different from your shipping address (marked "Coming Soon" or "Waitlist) may cause your service to be restricted immediately. (Starlink - What happens if I use Roam service in a different country than where I activated?)"

Maturity

Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate that they have been working in a mature phase of their art for at least 20 years. Maturity is based on the level of intellectual, technical, and creative development maintained over this time period. Artists must show that their primary involvement has been with their artistic goals, regardless of other personal or financial responsibilities. Artists must work in the disciplines of painting, sculpture, or printmaking.
Financial Need

In addition to the maturity requirement, eligibility for an Individual Support Grant is determined by the applicant’s current financial need. Each applicant must complete the financial disclosure section in full and must submit the appropriate financial documentation.

D-tree - Zanzibar Director

   
Reports to: Director of Program Operations

Location: Stone Town, Zanzibar

Start date: Immediate opening

Who we are

D-tree has been pioneering digital health since 2004 and leverages digital technology to create solutions that transform health systems for the better, making people’s care more personalized, more accessible, and more coordinated. We work with governments from ideation to implementation, combining a deep understanding of local contexts with global expertise to build human-centered, government-aligned digital health programs that are designed to scale and integrate into health systems — ultimately leading to sustainable, long term improvements in health outcomes for all. We partner with technology organizations, academia, medical hospitals, and like-minded organizations internationally and locally, private and public.

Since 2011, D-tree has partnered with the Zanzibar Ministry of Health to implement an innovative digital health program, Jamii ni Afya (“Community is health”) supporting Community Health Volunteers to provide health services within their communities. This program has consistently demonstrated improved health outcomes, a strengthened community health system, and increased use of data for decision-making. Over time, Jamii ni Afya has grown from a pilot to a national program and has demonstrated how digital technology can transform the quality of a health system. The Zanzibar government has committed to adopt Jamii ni Afya at national scale; integrating digitally-enabled Community Health Volunteers into their formal Community Health Strategy. This represents the world’s first nationally scaled digital community health program, bringing high quality health services to the doorsteps of all of Zanzibar. The digital health program will be fully scaled in July 2021, allowing D-tree to focus on program sustainability, quality and impact.

An important aspect of our work is ongoing government engagement and capacity building to fully transition Jamii ni Afya to the government in terms of financial & political, technology & data and program & operational management. We are in the process of finalizing a transition plan together with the Zanzibar government which outlines their commitment to taking on significant responsibility for the program, resulting in full government ownership and management by 2026. While we are committed to the institutionalization of Jamii ni Afya, we are also working to further realize the potential of digital health to strengthen the broader primary health system in Zanzibar, acting as a key trusted partner to the government as they explore how the health system can continue to be strengthened. This is an exciting opportunity to help deepen and expand our work and impact.
Who you are

We are seeking a full time Zanzibar Director, based in Stone Town, Zanzibar, to manage D-tree’s Zanzibar portfolio, which consists of multiple funding streams supporting the Zanzibar government to integrate digital technology into their primary health system.

You have the ability to see the big picture, as well as have excellent attention to detail and are very proactive. You are passionate about leading teams and have demonstrated your ability to develop leaders and create a positive, supportive environment in which all staff feel engaged, empowered and valued. You are a humble leader who aims to serve and support your team and you are able to balance an inclusive and empowering leadership approach, while ensuring high quality work outputs.
