Women find their voice!

Women find their voice!

Here are some heartening photos from the recent visit of Mission Morogoro to the 'Tushikamane' women's groups in up-country rural Tanzania.

Things you might want to note are:

-  There are so many women involved, in no fewer than eleven sites! Clearly the Tushikamane message has struck a chord with village women who, for so long, have just had to put up with their fate;

-  In Tanzania, Christian and Muslim work alongside each other, without tension;

-  Young women in particular are getting involved; and new young women are emerging with leadership qualities;

-  Although 90% of adults earn less than $2/day, people are not starving, as porridge is very cheap and very available. However, many are anaemic, and many children have low resistance to infection from poor micro-nutrition.

-   Tanzanian women love colour!
