2021 by the numbers, Part 3: Unite Brave Widow Program

In Tanzania, widows are often stigmatized, marginalized and victimized making life for them and their children rife with hardship. Unite’s “Brave Widow” program is designed to empower 10 of these impoverished-yet-enterprising women with loans, grants, mentorship, community, education, and paid-work opportunities. Click HERE to hear one Brave Widow — Mama Mbweta — talk about how her experience with Unite as a member of the Brave Widow program has transformed her life. Mama Mbetwa received a grant from Unite to start a small restaurant in 2020, and in 2021 she was hired by Unite to cater each and every one of Unite’s many events, meetings, and celebrations.
