Sarah is a Palestinian from Jerusalem. She is a graduate of Hebrew University, holding a bachelor’s degree in International Relations and French Literature. During her four-month internship, Sarah was part of the Multiplying Impact framework team, through which CARE aims to impact 8 million beneficiaries by 2025. Sarah supported the Iringa team in the process of completing the framework. The framework was divided into four main areas: setting goals, conducting a Political Economy analysis, collecting data and evidence, and eventually preparing policy briefs. Sarah contributed to finalizing stages two and three, and during the process worked closely with the four projects that CARE is currently implementing in the Iringa region. In addition, she was also able to work with CARE’s governmental and private sector partners in Tanzania. 

 

 

Mufindi, a mountainous town in the Iringa region of Tanzania, is where this group comes from. They are a group of women and young people working together to empower their community. CARE implements a few projects in these areas. One of these is TNK, Teaching for Jobs. Beneficiaries are given business training and helped in developing soft skills (life skills, gender and women empowerment, entrepreneurship, and agro mechanics) in line with the current market demands in the agriculture sector. The goal is to redress some of the challenges that the rural community faces in the endeavor to access quality information, resources, and markets. For me, this picture goes far beyond this or any project any NGO is implementing. There was mutual and collective support between all the members of the group: each helping, supporting, encouraging the others. This, for me, is the core of development.
