This blog was created to spread the vision of our work in Tanzania. After working in Arusha for a few years now I have discovered that to make any real change we must focus on the women of this community. Our nonprofit Shining Light (www.shiningalight.org) has been created to provide jobs to women in extreme poverty so that they can be empowered to care for themselves and their families. Our goal is to keep women working and children educated.

New Day Care Center
Shining a Light has opened a new day care center for the children of our students. Monika is one of our graduates and she will be running it each day. Right now we have seven children that will take advantage of the free care while their mama's are learning to bead, sew, learn English and many other skills that will provide a brighter future for their children and themselves. The children will be feed, given naps and have plenty of room to play. The day care center is right down the road from the workshop where the mothers can come each day at lunch to play and visit. This is one less thing for these women too worry about while they train with us.
