The Mabinti Centre

The Mabinti Centre, a project of CCBRT in Tanzania, trains young women recovering from fistula surgery in screen-printing, sewing, beading and crochet.

The course runs for a year, and trainees develop the knowledge and skills needed to establish an income and become financially independent. At the end of their course each graduate is supplied with a starter kit containing a sewing machine, scissors, a supply of fabric and a calculator. Graduating, the Mabinti women are ready and equipped to start their own business.

Once outcasts in their own communities, these young women are transformed into thriving and confident ladies through this sustainable endeavour.
