Health Equity Group

The Health Equity Group consists of four organizations: Women's Dignity, Youth Action Volunteers, the Tanzania Gender Networking Programme, and CARE.

Women's Dignity seeks to enable all Tanzanians--particularly marginalized girls and women--to realize their basic right to health. Women's Dignity works with policymakers, activists, and health professionals to strengthen services reaching women in poverty.

Youth Action Volunteers is a nongovernmental organization that works to empower young men and women in Tanzania to become healthy and active citizens, with the ability to know and demand their health rights.  It has been engaged in promoting the reproductive health status of young men and women since its registration.

Tanzania Gender Networking Programme is a nongovernmental activist organization focusing on the practical promotion and application of gender equality, equity and women's empowerment objectives through policy advocacy and mainstreaming of gender and pro-poor perspectives at all levels in the Tanzanian society and beyond.

CARE is a humanitarian organization fighting global poverty.  CARE is especially focused on women's poverty, and fights to bring basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity, protect natural resources and delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters.
