Constructing a Vocational Institute for Trafficked Girls

The Daughters of Mary Immaculate and Collaborators (DMI) is a registered religious congregation that has worked in Tanzania for over a decade to address human trafficking and support survivors. Through the DMI–Spring of Hope (DMI–SOH) center in Kibamba, Dar es Salaam, DMI has rescued, rehabilitated, and reintegrated 623 survivors of trafficking, helping them lead dignified and independent lives.

Since 2015, DMI–SOH has provided vocational training in beautician services, catering, tailoring, and computer skills—empowering 312 survivors with job-ready skills and restoring their confidence. In 2024, the center’s existing facility was repurposed into a school to serve vulnerable children in the community, creating an urgent need for a new vocational training institute to continue DMI’s critical rehabilitation work. Tanzania faces persistent poverty and widespread human trafficking, especially among girls who drop out of school due to poverty, early pregnancy, or family breakdown. Urban migration increases vulnerability, and the lack of formal training opportunities leaves many girls at risk of exploitation.

This project will establish a new two-story vocational training center on the DMI–SOH campus, with four classrooms, a multi-purpose hall, and an office. The facility will train 300 trafficked girls, alumni, and family members annually in job-focused skills like beautician services, catering, tailoring, and computer literacy. It will also provide psychosocial support, family counseling, alumni support networks, and community engagement through child protection initiatives.
