A women’s empowerment project has been running in Masanga, northern Tanzania for several years but the women were meeting and carrying out their work in a small wooden shed. Thanks to very generous donations from donors, VLM have been able to fund the building of a centre for the women's development project in Masanga, Tanzania. The building will be important for the women's project as a meeting space but it has also given them an increased sense of purpose and confidence. Currently, the women have been planting crops and baking goods to sell and they can now build on these sustainable livelihoods micro-businesses as well as develop educational initiatives. We look forward to following future developments. Sincere thanks to everyone who gave so generously to this project.
