Dominica
Dominica is 40 years old. She is a widow with 3 children and Social Welfare called Neema to see if we could help her. She has been finding greens in the field to sell on the street from a tub on her head to feed her family. Yesterday she worked all day and made 3,000 shillings, about $1.50 cents, not enough to feed her family. She was so grateful that people had come to help that she fell on her knees. Most Tanzanian women do not want a hand out, they want a hand up. We can help women like Dominica through the MAP program at Neema Village. Dominica will be able to start a business with your help. We have many small businesses from hair dressing to used clothing shops. The average business cost is $600. When you help a woman in Africa you not only change her world, you change ours.
