Keep I have added sources, and edited the text so that it is more neutral. She has been recognized in her country as a significant leader in women's education. She has been written about in the Tanzanian press but it is difficult to access the original sources because they are not digitized.

Keep It's hard to determine notability for people outside of the anglo-sphere, so notability of figures should be considered through that lens. She was named
Woman of the Year by the prime minister of tanzania, and was a member of the
Tanzanian Parliament, inherently meeting NPOL. Also given a
lifetime achievement award by Tanzanian Women of Achievement.
This search indicates a fair bit of coverage in the Tanzania Daily News (via
AllAfrica.com and
ProQuest), including an article describing her as a Prominent retired teacher and former Member of Parliament Maria Kamm. She also comes up in books (
[1],
[2]) and is even mentioned in American media (
[3],
[4]). I think the summation of the coverage is enough to meet GNG. There is likely more coverage in Swahili. AFD is not cleanup.

Keep, notability now clearly demonstrated (including as a member of a national parliament, although that does not appear to be her main claim to fame). —
