Rhodesia Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (RAPT).  More

RAPT

RAPT

In Bulawayo, Rhodesia, interest in the social and welfare aspects of tuberculosis began in the early 1950s, when the British Red Cross became involved in the community problem. About 1952 a special committee of the British Red Cross in Bulawayo planned a more coordinated approach to the problem. This eventually led to the formation of the Rhodesia Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (RAPT).

In 1955 the British Red Cross published an edition of vignettes in which part of the proceeds were donated to the Rhodesian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. The costs of production were borne by Rotary. The first RAPT stamp was released in 1956 and was available throughout Rhodesia and Nyasaland.

Branches were established in Bulawayo, Blantyre/ Limbe (Nyasaland), Gatooma, Gwelo, Shabani, Salisbury and Umtali. Each was autonomous, but with a common purpose.

In 1980, with the country's independence, the name was changed to Tuberculosis Rehabilitation and Prevention.

RAPT, a volunteer organization, was completely dependent on the public for its income. The most important sources were the contributions from the various lotteries and the annual issuance of the Tuberculosis stamps as a Christmas stamp campaign.

In Bulawayo, Rhodesië, begon de belangstelling voor de sociale en welzijnsaspecten van tuberculose begin van de jaren 50, toen het Britse Rode Kruis zich bezighield met het probleem dat de gemeenschap aangaat. Omstreeks 1952 plande een speciaal comité van het Britse Rode Kruis in Bulawayo een meer gecoördineerde aanpak van het probleem. Dit leidde uiteindelijk tot de oprichting van de Rhodesia Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (RAPT).

In 1955 bracht het Britse Rode Kruis een uitgave van vignetten uit waarin een deel van de opbrengst werd geschonken aan de Rhodesian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. De kosten van de productie werden gedragen door Rotary. De eerste R.A.P.T. zegel werd uitgebracht in 1956 en was beschikbaar in heel Rhodesië en Nyasaland.

Er werden afdelingen gesticht in Bulawayo, Blantyre/ Limbe (Nyasaland), Gatooma, Gwelo, Shabani, Salisbury en Umtali. Elk was autonoom, maar met een gemeenschappelijk doel.

In 1980, met de onafhankelijkheid van het land, werd de naam veranderd in Revalidatie en Preventie van Tuberculose.

RAPT, een vrijwilligersorganisatie, was voor haar inkomsten volledig afhankelijk van het publiek. De belangrijkste bronnen waren de bijdragen van de verschillende loterijen en de jaarlijkse uitgifte van de Tuberculosezegels als kerstzegelactie.
