You may have noticed that today has involved a lot of cakes, as I was organising a charity bake sale for Sport Relief as part of #teamhonkrelay I'm really pleased with what was raised and I will be sharing more about this with you soon. However today is also International Women's day and three fabulous bloggers have been to Tanzania to visit some truly amazing women.
Team Honk is about bloggers raising money and awareness for Comic Relief. To celebrate International Women's Day #iwd2014, Tanya, Annie and Penny are in Tanzania finding out how donations to Sport Relief last year have created female entrepreneurs and #lastingchange for women, their families and communities and beyond - rippling out #lastingchange in Africa.
Below is a digital postcard I was sent to share with you...
Eliafura makes the most beautiful batiks and tie dyed material. With the support of the Gatsby Trust Eliafura has registered her business and learned important health and safety rules around the chemicals she uses. Eliafura now also trains other women in the village who bring material to her and she shows them how to create these beautiful patterns. They sell easily to not only local schools where teachers like to buy them but also overseas. We bought her entire stock because we loved them all so much and are now working out how to sell them on so we can complete the circle of donation, funding, training, selling, donating.

Thank you for sharing this lady's story. She was so clever! And I think she was a bit stunned that we bought her entire stock off her with the intention of sharing it back in theh UK!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying reading about all these women it's such a worthy cause and so jealous of the ladies who have got to meet them and share it all with us!
