Description:
Poverty and unemployment threaten Africa more than any other part of the world, leaving working mothers and their children far behind. However, this group of women has taken their futures into their own hands and banded together to begin their own small business making baskets, chairs, lamp shades, and other products out of bamboo. The only goal of this women's group is to make a little money to support their families and send their children to school. Through this Volunteer Tanzania project, you can help this group ensure their continued success by helping them develop the marketing skills they need to promote their business. Volunteers will also help the women turn the raw bamboo into the beautiful finished pieces. Volunteer in Tanzania to help these women take an equal place in this strongly male-oriented society, and help them develop the skills they need to maintain that place in the future. Working with women is rewarding as it offers more opportunities to interact with the local women than any other project. The mothers will be extremely grateful for any help that you could offer.
