to operate in the country, and part of the Hand in Hand Global Network. Our vision is
to empower the society, especially women, through the creation of sustainable
enterprises and jobs. HIHEA (TZ) currently leads
field operations through two branches, in Moshi and Arusha.
The organization works with marginalized communities in the areas of economic and
social empowerment using a participatory approach aimed at helping people fight
poverty
and vulnerability. The Hand in Hand enterprise and job creation approach is based on
a philosophy of self-
help, providing training, skills and support to enable people living in poverty, particul
arly women, to build and sustain independent, market-based, economic activities.
This provides for a higher level of income for them and their families, which in turn
contributes to greater food security, better education for children, and increased
access to healthcare, improved housing, and overall improved livelihoods.
