L.MInter utilizes the church capacity in most of the community projects. L.M.Inter has a network of 30 congregations spread out in the five districts of Dodoma region. These congregations play a vital role in implementation of projects and in needs assessment. L.M.Inter has a functional office at its Headquarters in Dodoma. Presently, the Diocese intends to strengthen the Special Development Department through de-linking the evangelical activities from development work. This is intended to make the Special Development Department to be more efficient in serving the community.III SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTEXTl.M.Inter , Dodoma HeadQuter covers the whole of Dodoma region except some parts of the Dodoma East and South. The region is centrally positioned and covers 5% of Tanzania. It borders Arusha to the North, Iring a to the South, Singida to the East and Morogoro to the South. Much of the region is a plateau rising gradually from Bahi swamps to the highlands of Kondoa. Administratively, the region consists of four rural districts and one township authority. The districts include Dodoma rural, Kondoa, Mpwapwa, Kogwa and Dodoma municipality. The four districts and the municipality are further divided into 26 divisions.Bantu speaking people mainly inhabits the region. The major tribes include the Wagogo and the Warangi, other small tribes include Wamasai, Wanguu, Wasagara, Wamangati, Wambulu Watatoga, Wafyomi, Wakaguru, Watindiga, Wabena, and Wahehe. The average population is about 1.5 million and the growth rate is about 2.4%. At the village level, the community relies on subsistence farming and livestock rearing. The crops grown include maize, sunflower, groundnuts and beans. The rains are moderate and the temperatures are high.The HeadQ uter was inaugurated in 2000 and covers an area of 41,300 square kilometers. At the time of inauguration, it had only 5000 L.M.Inter members. Since then, the membership has increased to 15,000. Dodoma has a mixture of people from different communities and from different parts of Tanzania. Majority of the inhabitants have low levels of education while a big number is illiterate. Statistics indicate that 43% of male and 61% of females have never gone to school. It is only about 0.21% of the Dodoma population that has university education. The living standards are low except for the few who are either employed by the Government, corporations or Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs). A few people are also in the informal sector. The health status of the populace is low and the ratio of doctor to patient is very high. There are many communicable diseases that affect the people. They include malaria, water borne diseases, respiratory diseases and sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis and eye diseases.III PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSEDMajority of women and girl children in Dodoma face serious marginalization as a result of cultural, social and economic factors. As happens in many parts of the world, women face serious discrimination on basis of gender. Besides the discrimination, the women and girls also face rights abuse by the mainstream society. Most are denied the right to education and self-advancement. In most of the communities, women are not supposed to own or control any property. For these reason the women remain dependent to their male counterpart. In Dodoma for instance, the number of girls accessing education is very low. This low level of school attendance is not necessary due to lack of resources but is as a result of male parents having no value for girl education. Population statistics indicate that for every one b oy, there are three girls born (1:3). Sampling done in different schools however indicates a reverse in regards to the attendance to school. Statistics indicating the levels of enrollment of girls to school: EDUCATION LEVEL ATTENDANCE OF GIRLS IN DODOMA REGION(For every 100 boys) Girls never attended school 61.28 Girls attending class 1 to 4 (Primary school) 30.00 Girls attending class 5 to 8 (Primary secondary) 6.75 Girls attending class 9 to 12 (Secondary school) 0.78 Girls attending class 13 to 14 (High school) 0.03 Girls attending courses after primary school 0.13 Girls attending courses after secondary school 0.04 The low attendance of girls and the high drop out rate is attributed to the fact that male parents have very low value for education of girls. Due to cultural factors, women (mothers) are not decision-makers. Hence it is the father�s responsibility to decide whether or not to take the girls to school. Male parents argue that educating girls is a waste of resources as they finally get married and the benefits go to strangers. The male parents also view the gi rl children as a source of wealth in terms of bride price/dowry. Hence the high drop out rate of girls and the apparent early marriages. The girl children are also a source of labor. They are engaged at home as well as in the farms while their male counterparts attend schools.Women and girls are also disadvantaged in so many other ways. The rate of teenage pregnancy is high. This leads to the problem of single mothers. The rate of girls undertaking abortions is also high and sometimes lead to deaths of young girls. In most cases, the men who were responsible for the pregnancies bear no responsibility. In other cases, poor diets and general poverty also leads to miscarriage and stillbirths.In urban areas like Dodoma, cases of sexual exploitation of the women are also high. Men misuse women sexually because women are not economically independent. In some cases, the women will only get jobs after giving sexual favors. In other cases, women face outright discrimination because of negative gender factors and the fact that the society reserves some jobs for men and others for women.Economically, women face oppression from the society, as they are not allowed to own property. All the property belongs to men. In the urban areas, women find it difficult to survive and take care of their dependants because they do not have education and do not possess skills that can enable them to generate income to sustain their families.Recently, HIV/AIDS has also hit women harder than men. Statistics indicate that the rate of HIV/AIDS infection among women is higher than men. The burden of taking care of the family members with HIV/AIDS also lies more with the women rather than men. Investigation by L.M.Inter reveals very low levels of awareness on HIV/AIDS among women. The number of women getting infected as a result of lack of HIV/AIDS awareness remains quite high . The risks of women getting infected as a result of nursing HIV infected patients also remain high. V: PROJECT TO BE CARRIED OUTThe project and its objectivesIn response to the outright discrimination and marginalization of women and girls in Dodoma region, L.M.Inter intends to initiate a project that will try to reverse these trends. The project is intended to sensitize the Dodoma community on the rights of women and girls. The project also intends to mitigate against the effects of economic and social discrimination by empowering women and girls through training and access to capital for initiating small businesses. The project will also mitigate against the effects of the HIV/AIDS among women and girls and the community at large.Objectives To enhance e conomic empowerment of women through training and setting up of income generating activities.To build the capacity and to lobby for the rights of women and girls in five districts of Dodoma.To build the capacity of the community in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Dodoma region.To build the capacity of L.M.Inter-Dodoma to place it at a strategic position in provision of services to the community. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYOBJECTIVE 1To initiate economic empowerment of women through training and setting up of income generating activities.Activities To train a total of 660 women in small business management over the project duration.To establish a revolving loan fund (R LF) with a seed capital and all other basic components such as repayment procedures, criteria for qualification for loans, advisory services and security for the advanced loansTo start skills training in Computer skills, tailoring skills, hotel management, food processing and knitting and embroideryTo share experience through exchange tours for the best 10 women entrepreneurs under the RLF program.
