Story
Mondo Foundation has been supporting women in Northern Tanzania since 2005 and we have already transformed the lives of over 1000 single mothers living with HIV.
We provide women with small business grants of £150 together with an initial training to help them plan a successful enterprise. Our experienced staff mentor the women on a regular basis, visiting them at work and helping them make the business a success. Our beneficiaries engage in many trades: running market stalls, hairdressers, cafes, making bricks, raising animals and their hard work allows them to support their families and ensure their children are well fed and go to school.
There is a long waiting list of women who desperately want to join the programme while we also need funds to pay our experienced staff to keep supporting our existing beneficiaries. Through our women's day campaign we aim to raise £5000 to support another 20 women to join the programme. £250 will provide a start-up grant, training and mentoring for one woman.
