Our Visitors With Director, Elizabeth Mosha
On May 30th, Women in Action was surprised with a visit from 3 municipal council members along with 3 mayors and 2o ward councilors from the district of Dar es Salaam. The group wanted to learn all about Women in Action and we were very happy to oblige them! They learned about how we got started, the development and implementation of our programs, and how we sustain ourselves as a grassroots Non-Governmental Organization. We stressed the importance of their support as we work to help the people of Tanzania – the Government’s people, not simply WIA’s people.
They were so impressed by what they learned that each person made a donation right then and there out of their own pockets! We collected 202,000 tsh (about $150 USD) total.
The group plans to bring back leaders of other NGO’s to learn from the success of WIA. Two of the group members even asked to be taught by Elizabeth Mosha (Mama Mosha), the Director of Women in Action, in Home Based Care and VICOBA.
The leader of the group told us that she was very impressed with all the work we do and even compared Mama Mosha to Mother Theresa! They are very happy to see that, at its founding, WIA supported young people and have continued to do so up to today. They know as well as we do that children are the leaders of tomorrow and we all must work together to make a better Tanzania for them.
