Tiivistelmä
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to examine what kind of support poor women in Rau, a Tanzanian ward, needed to improve their daily living. The commissioner of this thesis was the Finnish organization Same Sun.
A qualitative method was applied in this thesis, and the data was collected by interviewing women living in the Rau ward. Other data was gathered by choosing final reports, which were most relevant to the subject and the target group. These reports are executed by UN Women, Unifem, UNIDO and ILO. The lessons learned and best practices from these reports were introduced and they were applied to the findings.
In the analysis of the interview data, money and access to money stood out strongly. Every interviewee saw that financial support would be the best way to help their daily living. The main themes were lack of money, access to money and earning their own money. The results of the thesis can be utilized when developing empowering activities for poor women in developing countries. Ihe suggested activities for the women’s group can be applied by Same Sun.
