Self reliance skills for Tanzanian Diocese

This training programme is important for for these clergy and lay people because it helps give them necessary skills to grow self-reliance. Some of the participants have gone on to set up small micro-enterprise groups, having a positive impact on their own personal economic situations and communities.
“Poverty is still a big challenge in our communities. I believe that through this training, things are going to change...the topic of the advantages of micro-economy was very interesting.”
