ABOUT US
MISSION
Dare Women's Foundation is an NGO that empowers Tanzanian women and girls, with a focus on rural areas, through poverty alleviation, social justice, economic empowerment, and gender equality.
Many of the women we work with have survived traumas including rape, domestic violence and ongoing discrimination. Most Tanzanian women also face a lack of feminine hygiene education and care, as well as limited access to education. In turn, this often leads to early marriage, large family size and dependence on others.
By bringing women together, educating them about their rights, giving them a voice, and supporting them in their endeavors, Dare Women's Foundation is changing Tanzania one woman at a time. When you educate a girl, you educate a community.
