We are a grass roots, community based organization with a strong commitment to supporting women and children who are living below the poverty line in Tanzania. We have experience dealing with gender-based violence and helping the most vulnerable women and children.
Since 2000, we have implemented more than 15 different projects in addition to our day-to-day role in assisting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. We also provide training on a regular basis to young girls and women on essential life skills. We have 5 full time staff who currently work as volunteers.
