Shaping Dreams.Breaking Barriers.

"I didn’t know there is humanity. I didn’t know there is luxury. I can now sleep until sunrise. I say thank you for this new house, you have saved my life, you saved me from diseases, you saved me from loneliness, you saved me from feeling poor. I sleep well these days. I’m grateful. Thank you!"

"People used to tell us that we are doing work that is supposed to be done by men and that we will get tired and get sick too. I was encouraging my sisters to not give up."

"The capacity building they do is amazing – we are so impressed with what they do in the construction world."

"We are sisters who are determined that we will not leave our other sisters behind."

"Over the months working with TAWAH -Tanzania I have gained invaluable insight and experience. This period has been transformative deepening my understanding on construction and sustainable issues basically on the use of local material and women engagement in construction."

"Volunteering with TAWAH was a pivotal moment in my journey. It strengthened my confidence, expanded my worldview, and allowed me to build a portfolio that reflected my passion for community and sustainable development."

"When I was working as a tailor in Kigoma, I earned about 7,000 TZS per day. Now, as an electrician, I earn between 15,000–20,000 TZS per day. I enjoy what I’m doing, and I plan to go back to school and become a big electrician in the country."

"During my time at TAWAH, I learned the importance of working closely with communities through a holistic approach that addresses challenges at their root causes, with a strong emphasis on sustainability."

"My internship at TAWAH was a meaningful and empowering experience that challenged me to move beyond theory into practice. Working closely with women builders deepened my understanding of how policy translates into tangible change."

"One of the best choices that I’ve made for both my career in Architecture and passion to serve my community, was a decision to volunteer with TAWAH. It gave me an opportunity to work and learn."

"It’s humbling to know that each brick here was laid by women who put their sweat, love, and passion into it. It is my pleasure to be part of this journey and to plant a tree. When I return, I will sit under its shade and share its fruit with another young woman, encouraging her."
