Why Tanzania?

Tanzania is a bright, beautiful and amazing country to visit. That is why thousands of travellers pass through every year. It's capital Dar es Salaam sits on a breathtaking coastline, an hour from paradise island of Zanzibar. In the north, Arusha sits under the shadows of the great Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Tanzania is home to many famous Safari parks and game reserves where people from all over the world come to visit the spectacular wildlife. The people are warm and gracious and nothing makes them happier than welcoming you to their country. Tanzania is multicultural and has hundreds of various tribes and ethnicities, it's most famous being the nomadic Maasai tribe. Rich in culture and stunning to see, it really is an exciting part of Africa to visit.

The project is a community and social support for women and single mother's in vulnerable situations who want to become independent.

    • They provide a safe space for women to receive social support, food and living assistance

      • Women are a vulnerable group in Tanzania, often losing protection, safety and financial security.

      • Women often fall into conflict with in laws about land, property and can lose their homes and any property to in-laws without knowing their inheritance rights

      • This has left many homeless and destitute, begging on the streets for help. This is not an uncommon occurrence nationwide.

      • They provide counselling and solutions

      • High rates of unemployment, gender inequality and social issues often create huge challenges to these women finding jobs to support themselves.

  • A fully functional vocational training centre and welfare center

  • They have started a women’s empowerment group aimed at economic empowerment

    • They heavily promote self reliance and entrepreneurship

  • Funding

  • A % of fees is donated to the project from Siret to contribute to what they are doing.

    • The children receive pre-school classes, play time, meals and transportation

    • The centre provides full time employment for salaried teachers
