Tanzanian Leather Worker

 

Life isn't all that easy in Tanzania, and that goes for double if you have a disability.  Often a family can't take care of their handicapped members as they are too much of a burden on already stressed households.  With little or no support, they are left to fend for themselves on the streets.  This women worked at a leather workshop in Moshi that employs disadvantaged and disabled workers called Shah Industries.
