Association of Tanzanian Women In Diaspora (ATWID) is an Organisation founded in March 2008 which is voluntary, Non-Governmental and whose purpose is to promote the welfare of women and children in Diaspora through implementation of development programs in the areas of Women’s welfare, economic empowerment, leadership skills, education, elimination of violence against women and children’s welfare in order to attain a sustainable and gender equitable society. ATWID was founded in March 2008 by a small group of Tanzanian women in Reading, Berkshire (UK) who saw a need to join other National and International efforts in promoting, protecting, advocating for and providing the socio-economic welfare of women and children. Since then, the Organisation has been active in promoting participation in various social activities and is also implementing strategies in the area of women and children’s welfare and economic development. ATWID is an organisation founded by women and led by women for womens', girls’ and children’s welfare, empowerment and development

"WORRYING NEVER CHANGED ANYTHING"
The River Between
..... that rarity, an almost wordless love story that avoids pseudo-nobility while remaining proudly and distinctively African. - The Guardian Christian missionaries attempt to outlaw the female circumcision ritual and in the process create a terrible rift between the two Kikuyu communities on either side of the river. The people are torn between those who believe in Western/Christian education and the opportunities it will offer, and those who feel that only unquestioned loyalty to past traditions will save them. The growing conflict brings tragedy to a pair of young lovers who attempted to bridge the deepening chasm.
Song of Lawino
A lament sung by a woman whose husband has rejected village life and taken a new wife who speaks English, powders her face and is skinny like European women. It is a lament for the rejection of the deeply-rooted traditions of their ancestors and the superficial materialism of Western values. It is followed by the Song of Ocol, her husbands response. Its terse verse belies the frustration he feels at the outdated values of his society.
