Morogoro is a town with a population of 315,866 (2012 census) in the eastern part of Tanzania, {{convert|196|km|mi}} west of Dar es Salaam, the country's largest city and commercial centre, and {{convert|260|km|mi}} east of Dodoma, the country's capital city.[3] Morogoro is the capital of the Morogoro Region. It is also known informally as "Mji kasoro bahari", which translates as "city short of an ocean/port".{{citation needed|date=September 2014}}

Overview

Morogoro lies at the base of the Uluguru Mountains and is a centre of agriculture in the region. The Sokoine University of Agriculture is based in the city. A number of missions are also located in the city, providing schools and hospitals.

Morogoro is the home of Salim Abdullah, who was the founder of the Cuban Marimba jazz band, and the Morogoro Jazz Band, another well-known band established in 1944.[4] From the mid-1960s to the 1970s, Morogoro was home to one of Tanzania's most influential and celebrated musicians, Mbaraka Mwinshehe, a lead guitarist and singer-songwriter.[3]

Morogoro is home to the Amani Centre, which has helped over 3,400 disabled people in the surrounding villages.[4]

Water supply

Eighty percent of the Morogoro's water supply comes from the Mindu Dam on the Ngerengere River. The dam project, begun in 1978, has been controversial. The lake behind the dam has led to high rates of bilharzia infection,[5] and mercury run-off from gold mining nearby the dam has polluted the city's water supply.[6] The dam is also being rapidly silted due to deforestation in the surrounding areas.[7]

In 2012-13 a $8.31m USAID/MCC-funded programme was implemented for the Morogoro Water Supply Authority (MORUWASA) to rehabilitate drinking water resources from the Uluguru Mountains with an inlet and treatment plant near the Regional Governance offices at the high end of the Boma Road.
