KWIECO, in partnership with Friedrich Naumann Foundation Tanzania, conducted a three-day forum aimed at strengthening the sustainability and long-term ownership of the achievements realized through the "Jamii Salama" project in Siha District.

A total of 70 women participated in the forum, all representing groups that have been economically empowered through the project. Throughout the sessions, the women shared their economic success stories, developed sustainable strategies for continued growth, and enhanced their leadership skills.

The forum also focused on reinforcing group governance systems to ensure that the established structures continue to facilitate positive transformation within the community.

Efforts to uplift women economically through the "Jamii Salama" initiative in Siha District began in 2017, through support from Friedrich Naumann Foundation Tanzania in collaboration with KWIECO. Since then, the project has contributed significantly to improving women’s financial independence and strengthening community development through empowered and well-coordinated women’s groups.

It has been reported that the response to providing education, especially for girls, has significantly increased in Siha District, Kilimanjaro Region. This positive trend is attributed to efforts by the government and non-governmental organizations implementing human rights projects in the district.

This was recently stated by the district’s Development Officer, Mr. Marc Masue, while opening a three-day training session on gender equality and human rights for traditional leaders (commonly known as Ilaigwanani). The training is conducted by KWIECO in collaboration with Friedrich Naumann Foundation Tanzania through the 'Safe Communities for Our Development project.'

Mr. Masue highlighted that the education on gender equality and human rights provided by organizations such as KWIECO has played a crucial role in raising awareness within the community about the importance of educating children, particularly in pastoralist communities that have historically lagged in education.

Participants in the training, Mr. Opendo Loodo and Mr. Loinyeye Siodi, who are Maasai traditional leaders (Ilaigwanani), emphasized their responsibility as influential figures in society. They committed to spreading this knowledge within their communities and strategizing to eliminate child marriages and teenage pregnancies, which hinder girls from achieving their dreams.

Approximately ten villages in Siha District have benefited from gender equality and human rights education through projects implemented by KWIECO in collaboration with FNF for five years now.
