WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN LAND

About Us

The organization was established in 2003 by five (5) Tanzanian women after attending a seminar on women  empowerment. These women who trusted each other with the same vision and mission to help women in rural community obtain their rights, joined and started the SAFINA group. First they had to attend several seminars to equip themselves with more knowledge, hence  they attended  several seminars such as   HIV/AIDS, Food processing (conducted by Small Industry Development Organization SIDO), Human rights (conducted by Tanzania Association of Women Lawyers Association) and Environment conservation (conducted by Nature Scope), also the leader attended a seminar on group formation and organization development. The group recruited more women and girls and was registered in 2004 as an  Association and later in 2006 registered as an NGO
