He has led the Alegent Health Tanzanian effort since its inception in 2001, eventually relocating to Machame, Tanzania.
In Tanzania he has various roles: Coordinator of Health Advisory Services for the Northern Diocese of the Lutheran Church in Tanzania, a member of the Machame Lutheran Hospital executive team, and Administrative Director of the Machame Orthopedic Center (a partnership of Machame Lutheran Hospital, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center, and Alegent Health). Additionally, Bob is the commissioned representative for the Nebraska Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) in Tanzania and is designated a Global Mission Associate with the ELCA. He is a member of Lord of Love Lutheran Church of Omaha.
Much of my work with Tanzania boils down to being a bridge that assists in the transfer of aid, support and technology, but also information and understanding. This flow goes both to and from Africa. My great joy is in assisting others to become or build their own bridges to Tanzania. –Bob Kasworm
