  • Location: Dodoma, the capital of Tanzania
  • This is an organization that is really growing.  All the elements are in place: people, programs, success....except they are in very small rented areas. They need to have a place of their own so they do not have to use their resources to pay rent. If they are all together in one place, administrative costs would decrease, attractiveness increase as well as efficiency.

Components

  • Small loans for women....97% payback on time record
  • HIV /Aids counseling and testing for women
  • Teaching computer skills to women: 15 computers available
  • Sewing and knitting center: they have many sewing machines all crowded into two       rooms    along with 2 knitting machines that they have purchased.  They make dresses and sweaters.

  • Batik = dresses, table cloths, fabrics
  • Care of Orphans: work with individual churches to care for orphans in their areas
  • Cookery: teaching inexpensive meal planning and cooking using local available food
  • And much more for the future!!!!
