Izazi is located in the South-central of Tanzania, about 85 km north of Iringa city. Lack of network connectivity, 2G only. People are travelling to Migori village to charge phones, surf Internet, sending project reports including pictures to the district officer. The village office has electricity, and so do some houses in the village.
