The women of Tanzania are hard working, yet make up
a disproportionately large segment of the poor. Most strive against poverty
with little or no support or guidance. In growing numbers, they are now
organizing themselves into different groups to help to improve the living
standards of their families. Groups have been formed for business start up
guidance, milk processing, pottery production, vegetable growing and several
other enterprises. These women face many challenges: how to market their
products, understanding micro-finance and loan application procedures, and
more. Volunteers are welcome to assist with training and offer any useful
skills.
