Human Rights Project
Tanzania’s Human Rights Project is located in the town of Arusha. The attention of this program is directed towards helping female victims of discrimination in their reclaiming of personal property as well as fighting for inheritance rights. The project visits widows nationally around Tanzania specifically Arusha in order to understand the human rights issues they encounter. Also, through microfinancing, this project aids widows providing them with an income. They provide the widows with legal assistance, therefore helping to defend their legal rights. “The project never stops developing and growing, so new issues arise on a regular basis and new strategies are constantly being put in place in order to overcome these issues and help those who are most in need”.
