Thank you for opening your heart to learn about the women of Arusha, Tanzania and about Shining a Light. We are in desperate need to raise money to continue to grow our program. We need your help and the help of everyone you know.

Arusha, Tanzania is stricken with poverty, single parenting is the norm due to HIV/Aids and rape. Hundreds 
of children live on the streets. Problems are everywhere, it is heartbreaking, we can choose to look the other way or we can break the cycle of poverty by offering a hand up.

Since November, Shining a Light has been traveling the midwest and a few other places sharing the amazing stories of transformation in the lives of our women in Tanzania. Stories of hope and faith, ups and downs but most of all stories of Empowerment.
Our training center in Arusha, Tanzania is based around women who have had missed opportunities and a lack of resources to do the most basic of things, provide for their families. But now thanks to many generous supporters, lots of prayers and dedication of a few visionaries we are seeing change not only in these women but in their husbands, children and their communities.

Our founder, Jennifer VanderGalien is in the states until May. There are many more opportunities to catch her story and the story of Shining a Light but to also book your own speaking engagement. Just send us an email jennifer@shiningalight.org or find us on our website www.shiningalight.org or many of our social media sites Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN.
