Empower vulnerable men and women in Arusha, North Tanzania

In the women's shelter, over 50 girls and women are cared for. They came to escape poverty, homelessness and other dangerous living conditions, they were forcibly married, victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and were physically or sexually abused.
