Perfect Vision Women Tanzania is a non-profit organization committed to empowering women and girls in Arusha, Tanzania. Our story is rooted in both heartbreak and hopeâborn from the vision of the late Mama Happy, a courageous woman who transformed her pain into purpose.
In 2019, Mama Happy founded the organization after surviving immense personal challenges. She dreamed of creating a safe and supportive space where women and girls could openly share their experiences, access life-changing opportunities, and find strength in community.
After her sudden passing, her daughter Editha Faustine made a bold and selfless decision to leave her job and carry forward her motherâs mission. Since 2021, she has led the organization with passion and dedicationâexpanding the reach and honoring her mother’s powerful legacy.

Perfect Vision Women Tanzania was born from my motherâs heartâMama Happy, a woman whose passion for empowering vulnerable women and girls lit up every space she entered. In 2020, when she passed away, my world fell apart.
In the midst of grief, I was faced with a decision that would change my life forever. I chose to leave my job and step into the work my mother had started. Not because it was easyâbut because I knew her mission was too important to stop. I couldnât let her dream die with her.
Taking over Perfect Vision was not just a responsibilityâit was a promise I made at her graveside: that I would continue what she began, no matter how hard it got. And every day since, Iâve poured my heart into this journeyâfighting for every girl to stay in school, for every woman to find her strength, and for every forgotten voice to be heard.
This is more than work. Itâs legacy. Itâs love. Itâs Mama Happyâs spiritâalive in everything we do.
Christine, fondly known as Tina, is the heart of our volunteer program. She ensures that every volunteer who joins Perfect Vision Women Tanzania feels welcomed, supported, and fully engaged in our mission. From coordinating daily activities to translating and bridging communication gaps, Tina plays a vital role in creating meaningful volunteer experiences.
But Tinaâs journey with Perfect Vision began long before she became a coordinator. In 2020, she was one of the very first women empowered by Mama Happyâthe founder of our organization. What started as a chance to rebuild her life grew into a deep calling to give back.
Inspired by Mama Happyâs vision and the impact it had on her personally, Tina returnedânot just as a beneficiary, but as a leader. Today, she carries forward the spirit of empowerment she once received, helping others the same way she was once helped.
Her story is one of transformation, resilience, and full-circle purposeâand weâre proud to have her as part of our leadership team.
Naomi is the creative hands and patient heart behind our sewing program at Perfect Vision Women Tanzania. As our Sewing Instructor, she teaches girls and young women valuable tailoring skillsâfrom basic stitches to advanced garment makingâthat not only build confidence but also open doors to economic independence.
With a calm and nurturing spirit, Naomi does more than just teachâshe mentors. She understands that every thread she guides is not just shaping fabric, but shaping futures. Whether sheâs helping a beginner thread a needle for the first time or supporting a girl to design her first dress, Naomi meets every student with kindness, patience, and encouragement.
Her dedication to empowering others through skill-building is at the core of our Crafting Her Future program. Naomi is not only a teacherâsheâs a quiet force of transformation, giving girls the tools to dream bigger and stand taller.
Amani joined the Perfect Vision Women Tanzania team in 2022, bringing fresh energy, a sharp mind, and a deep commitment to our mission. Since then, he has become a vital part of our workâhelping plan, implement, and monitor programs that directly impact the lives of women and girls in our community.
Whether itâs coordinating field activities, writing reports, or supporting administrative tasks behind the scenes, Amaniâs dedication ensures that our projects run smoothly and effectively. His ability to stay organized while working with compassion has made him an anchor for our team.
More than just a colleague, Amani is someone who truly believes in our vision. His presence reminds us that empowering women is not just womenâs workâitâs a shared responsibility. Weâre proud to have him as part of our leadership and impact journey.
