Austerity measures have curbed public spending, cutting deep into social sector programmes and causing hardship for many poor women and their children. For further detail visit site above.

	Women in Tanzania, as in the rest of Africa, are the backbone of rural communities. They work the fields and maintain the home and get scant reward. Now a scheme is attempting to help them plough some of the little money they have saved into income-generating projects. The idea is simple to support credit schemes among women cooperative members.
