Our Projects

Our key projects include Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management, Crafting Her Future, Bring Her Back to School, and Remember the Forgotten. Each project is designed to address specific needs, from providing reusable sanitary pads to offering vocational training and supporting vulnerable groups through home visits. These projects are the heart of our mission to create lasting positive change in the lives of Tanzanian women.

Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management

This project is essential for promoting women’s health and dignity. By making and distributing reusable sanitary pads, we help women and girls manage their menstrual health effectively. Additionally, we offer health insurance to those in need, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent them from accessing necessary health services.

Crafting Her Future Project

Economic empowerment begins with skills development. Through this project, women receive comprehensive sewing training and are provided with sewing machines upon graduation. This initiative empowers women to start their businesses, achieve financial independence, and contribute to their communities’ economic growth.

Bring Her Back to School Project

Education is a fundamental right, and this project focuses on helping girls return to school by finding sponsorships. Our volunteers are instrumental in connecting with potential sponsors and ensuring that these girls have the support they need to continue their education.

Remember the Forgotten Project

Vulnerable groups often fall through the cracks in society, but we are committed to ensuring that no one is left behind. Through this project, we conduct home visits to provide food, clothing, and other essential items to those in need. Our goal is to support these individuals and help them live with dignity.

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 Tina’s journey with Perfect Vision began long before she became a coordinator. In 2020, she was one of the very first women empowered by Mama Happy—the founder of our organization. What started as a chance to rebuild her life grew into a deep calling to give back.

Inspired by Mama Happy’s vision and the impact it had on her personally, Tina returned—not 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 purpose—and we’re proud to have her as part of our leadership team.

Perfect Vision Women Tanzania was born from my mother’s heart—Mama 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 easy—but because I knew her mission was too important to stop. I couldn’t let her dream die with her.

Taking over Perfect Vision was not just a responsibility—it 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, I’ve poured my heart into this journey—fighting 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. It’s legacy. It’s love. It’s Mama Happy’s spirit—alive in everything we do.
