Welcome to
Mara Cluster
THE STORY
Tanzania's Mara region is on Lake Victoria's eastern shore. Here, many local groups work to overcome both poverty and human rights violations.
​
The Cluster was formed by health workers, human rights advocates and faith leaders who wanted to join up and amplify these important efforts. And they've made national headlines in the process.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING
Empowering Women
Members work to change attitudes and laws relating to FGM, widows’ rights and child marriage.
Human Rights
By offering legal aid and raising awareness, members are helping people to understand their rights.
Health Training
​
Members train community health workers in areas including palliative care and disability.
