These are our gorgeous hand beaded sandals made in Arusha, Tanzania. They are made by women who are struggling to survive in a male dominated culture that treats them worse then the family's livestock. They never have a chance at a proper education, there's no money. They never get to choose whom they will marry, that's prearranged. They never decide how many children they will have, they must “be” with their husbands whenever demanded. And they have no choice but to work like a dog without making any money. Shining a Light has decided to Empower these amazing women who work from dawn until dark without complaints. We have decided to teach them a profitable skill and then allow them to capitalize on it by training them in business. We also teach them in areas of literacy, health care, and how to manage their finances. These sandals provide the opportunity of transformation by financing our project. You can support these women and us by purchasing a pair of sandals at www.shiningalight.org and help us change the future of women in Tanzania and the future of their children.
