The Tanzania Women Research Foundation (TAWREF) was formed in 2010 by a group of experienced researchers and community interventionists. TAWREF is a national organization engaged to conduct evidence based interventions informed by research using community driven interventions to transform the lives of marginalized populations particularly children, youth and women. Marginalization could be caused by abject poverty, impact of diseases such as HIV and AIDS, orphan hood, disabilities and other causes leading to stresses and trauma.
