Economic Empowerment of Women and Poverty Eradication

 

In Tanzania about 60 percent of women in Tanzania live in absolute poverty.  This is a result of the increasing poverty among the rural and urban population generally, the growing gap between the rich and poor; women and men; and among women themselves.  In the rural sector and the poor urban suburbs, women carry a heavier burden because by tradition, women lack property rights and they also lack adequate knowledge on existing credit facilities.  Due to their low education level, their knowledge and skills on how to manage their work is generally low.  Most of women also depend on poor technology, which consume their time and energy.

 

To overcome this situation, Islamic Help Tanzania committed itself to enhance women’s economic capacity through making credit facilities available to a majority of women. Building and supporting women entrepreneurial skill, improving their management capabilities, increase training and access to technology.
